At least 15 homes and numerous trees in Saltha upazila’s Sonatundi village in Faridpur were damaged by a tornado that lasted for three minutes on Thursday.
Falling tree branches disrupted the power supply in the area as the storm wreaked havoc.
Furthermore, the only brick road in the north part of Sonatundi was blocked due to fallen trees, cutting off road communication.
Faridpur Deputy Commissioner (DC) Md Quamrul Ahsan Talukder said: “I have instructed the upazila administration and public representatives to take action. They will compile a list of victims by tomorrow (Friday) morning, and the district administration will provide full support to those affected.”
