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.
