A sudden midnight hailstorm struck Nilphamari district’s Domar and Jaldhaka upazilas late Saturday, causing extensive damage to crops and homes. The storm, accompanied by strong winds, left residents struggling as hail battered fields and rooftops, disrupting normal life in the affected areas.
According to local sources, large areas of farmland cultivating maize, chili, potato, and paddy were severely damaged, with many crops flattened to the ground. The intensity of the hailstorm also punctured tin roofs of numerous houses, allowing rainwater to enter and creating panic among residents. Several Hindu religious puja mandaps were also reported damaged.
Locals said they had not witnessed such a severe hailstorm in the past five to seven years. The Department of Agricultural Extension’s deputy director, Manjur Rahman, stated that field inspections are underway to assess the extent of the losses, though no official damage statistics have yet been released.
