A severe thunderstorm (Kalabaishakhi) caused extensive damage in the Kalyansinghpur block of Rayagada district. The storm, lasting 2-3 hours with heavy rain and wind, left several families homeless as house roofs were blown away and walls collapsed. Fallen trees and snapped power lines have led to prolonged power outages in many villages. Affected residents are currently taking shelter in others' homes. Revenue officials have promised assistance, including tarpaulins and potential housing aid under government schemes, after completing damage assessments. https://sambad.in/district/rayagada/kalbaishakhi-damages-houses-renders-families-homeless-in-kalyansinghpur-rayagada-11890511 #creator program
