A woman named Amina Bewa, aged 42, died on Monday morning in Joybhoga Dighapara village of Gabtali upazila, Bogura, when a tree branch fell on her during a storm. She had gone out to collect mangoes amid a Baishakhi storm when a large branch from a mango tree broke and struck her, killing her on the spot. Local residents recovered her body and took it home after the incident.

According to the officer-in-charge of Gabtali Model Police Station, Rakib Hasan, the woman’s death occurred when the branch broke during the storm. The same storm also caused significant damage to educational institutions and trees in the area, including the tin roofs and fences of Gabtali Women’s College.

The incident highlights the destructive impact of seasonal storms in rural Bangladesh, which often cause casualties and property damage during the mango season.
