A fierce dust storm swept through Delhi and the NCR on Wednesday evening, bringing much-needed relief from scorching temperatures but causing widespread disruption. The storm, which struck around 8 PM, uprooted trees, damaged metro infrastructure, and delayed flights at IGI Airport. Wind speeds soared to 79 kmph in parts of the city. Metro services on the Red, Yellow, and Pink lines were temporarily halted. A tragic incident occurred on Lodhi Road, where a man in a wheelchair was killed by a falling electric pole. The IMD attributed the storm to a cyclonic circulation over Haryana, with more unstable weather expected. (PC: HT)
