BAJAUR AGENCY: Heavy rain and hailstorm destroyed standing crops spreading over thousands of acres of land in Bajaur Agency on Sunday night.
According to Met office, a total of 18 millimetres of rain was received which also broke the backbone of the sweltering heat in the region.
Trees, signboards on roadside and pasted on building walls have also fallen due to heavy storm which badly affected the gardens of apricots, watermelon, melon, vegetables and standing crops. Food stuff was also destroyed due to accumulation of rain water which inundated shops and houses.
The routine life was also badly affected due to hailstorm in the agency. The boundary walls of dozens of houses collapsed while power supply was suspended in several parts due to uprooting of electricity polls.
The local people demanded of the government to provide compensation for losses they received.
