Hailstorm Hit Dibrugarh: A severe hailstorm struck various districts in upper Assam, particularly Moran in Dibrugarh District. Fresh images of white-covered roads in the Dibrugarh district following a hailstorm have gone viral on social media.
As ice accumulated on the bus highway, causing traffic disruptions, it transformed many acres of cultivated land, as well as the roads, into a carpet of white.
The thick layer of ice on the road decelerated traffic, and many people rushed to the streets to admire the natural beauty of the white snow.
