Deadly dust storm in Pics

Thousands of people were stranded outside Metro stations and on roads as traffic almost came to a halt due the storm accompanied by winds at a speed of over 90 kmph. Most areas in the city plunged into darkness as the storm which struck at 4:58 PM uprooted trees snapping power lines in several areas. Metro train services were disrupted on almost all lines for about an hour due to power failure during the evening rush time.
