Felt like a 20-minute earthquake: Delhi-NCR residents left shaken after sudden dust storm
New Delhi, April 12 — A sudden and intense dust storm swept across the Delhi-NCR region late Friday evening, leaving residents startled and the city blanketed in a cloud of dust and debris. The out-of-the-blue weather phenomenon, which lasted about 20 minutes, reduced visibility significantly, uprooted trees, and disrupted power in several locations. Ritesh Malhotra, a Noida resident, said, "It felt like a 20-minute earthquake." He described how windows rattled and things fell inside as strong winds howled outside. Videos depicting dramatic scenes of swaying electric poles, flying debris, and people caught off guard by the storm soon flooded social media. The sudden dust storm was brought on by a combination of high surface temperatures and strong westerly winds, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). Wind gusts of up to 70 kilometers per hour were recorded in parts of Delhi and Gurgaon. Although the IMD had previously issued a yellow alert for the region warning of light rain and gusty winds, the severity of the storm surprised many. Power outages were reported in a number of neighborhoods as a result of damaged overhead cables and fallen trees. On important roads like the Ring Road and NH-48, traffic was disrupted, and Metro services experienced brief delays as a result of operational safety checks. As minor injuries and property damage were reported from South Delhi, Dwarka, and Ghaziabad, emergency services were on high alert. Authorities advised residents to stay indoors and avoid parking vehicles under trees or unstable structures.
