Pandals erected for patients awaiting admission to the Rajkot Civil Hospital were blown away
Rajkot: The city of Rajkot and other parts of Saurashtra were hit by unseasonal rains and strong winds on Sunday evening. Hailstorms were also reported in parts of Kalavad taluka of Jamnagar district. The unseasonal rain with gushing wind took the people of Saurashtra and South Gujarat by surprise amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
Such was the intensity of the winds that a pandal, erected for patients awaiting admission to the Rajkot Civil Hospital (RCH), was blown away. The administration had installed the pandal at the Choudhary High School ground to give respite to the patients from the scorching heat.
