A massive dust storm accompanied by strong winds lashed Delhi yesterday evening uprooting to trees and disrupting traffic.
The dust storm, which came after showers in the morning, was again followed by rain as well as hail in some parts of Delhi.
However the minimum and maximum temperatures remained above average.
Traffic police officials said they received calls about trees falling in Rohini and Pitampura in north Delhi, which led to congestion on roads. Some vehicles were also damaged when the trees fell on them.
The dust storm resulted in traffic snarls between 4pm and 7.30pm in many parts of west Delhi including Azadpur, Jahangirpuri and Punjabi Bagh. In south Delhi, the affected areas included Moti Nagar and Vasant Vihar.
Commuters tweeted about the dust storm.
