Babushahi Bureau
Mohali (Punjab), June 13, 2026: Strong winds and heavy rainfall that have swept across Punjab, Chandigarh, and surrounding areas over the past two days have brought much-needed relief from the intense summer heat.
However, the severe weather has also caused significant damage across the state.
One person has lost their life in a tragic incident linked to the storm. In Fazilka district's Jhangar Bhaini village, a cement shed from a factory or residential building was reportedly blown away by powerful winds and struck a woman identified as Sunita Rani while she was passing through the area.
The impact severed her neck, resulting in her death on the spot. Local authorities are assessing the damage caused by the storm, while residents have been urged to remain cautious as adverse weather conditions continue in several parts of the state.
