Storm in Assam's Sadia Causes One Death and Disrupts NH-115 Connectivity
A severe storm struck Sadia, Assam, early Tuesday, uprooting trees along a 4-5 km stretch of National Highway 115 and disrupting road connectivity. The storm caused widespread damage in Chapakhowa and nearby areas. One worker, Shiva Shankar Shah, died after a tree fell on a warehouse where he was trapped. Rescue efforts were hindered by power outages and blocked roads, delaying medical assistance. The full extent of the damage is still being assessed.
