Soro: A person was killed in a Nor’wester that swept across Balasore district on Saturday evening.

The deceased, identified as Satrughan Das of Majhikia village in Padmaur panchayat under Chandipur police limits, died when branch of a tree fell on him.

According to locals, all of a sudden Nor’wester accompanied by hailstone showers lashed the district. Several thatched houses and crops were damaged in the storm, which also uprooted trees.

Electricity supply and telephone lines remained suspended due to snapping of poles in many parts of the district, they added.

Meanwhile, the Bhubaneswar Regional Centre of India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast a rise in temperature, which may reach 42 degrees Celsius in many parts of the state, in the next 24 hours.
