Villages such as Naitor Kalyanpur, Naitor Udla, Jamlai, Bidyanagar, and Hekra were among the areas which were affected the most due to the severe hailstorm.

The uprooted trees caused road blockages lasting for hours, as a result of which, the vehicular movements across the district faced disruptions.

He said that apart from his house, several other houses in his locality also sustained damages due to the storm.
