Unseasonal rain lash Amreli villages

RAJKOT: Heavy rain lashed villages of Savarkundla and Khambha talukas of Amreli district late Monday evening. The showers were accompanied by strong winds which blew away roofs of some of the houses.
A canopy erected at the check-post near Bhroingda village of Savrkundla to screen people coming from other districts collapsed due to heavy wind.
The canopy sheltered the cops and paramedical staff from the scorching sun while they performed their duties.It was also used as temporary kitchen to provide food to the people. As the canopy blew away in the wind, the people had to take shelter in a nearby temple.
