Severe Storm in Tangail

Hasan Mahmud, Dhaka, 05 April: A violent storm hit Tangail district yesterday at about 5 pm. The storm flew at a speed of 150 kilometer per hour and lasted about an hour. The storm was combined with thunder and lightning. It hit about twelve villages of the district and demolished almost all of the houses of those villages.

It took away the lives of seven people and many were injured seriously. Many trees were uprooted and the crops were damaged totally. Many domestic animals also died in the storm. The people of the affected villages have been undergoing untold sufferings. Most of them are now living under the open sky.

They are now greatly in need of food, medicine, pure drinking water, etc. The government and some other helping organisations have come forward to lessen the miseries of the sufferers, but their help and cooperation is less than the demand.
