0
On Sunday (April 14, 2012) afternoon the district of Kishanganj had witnessed the horrifying natural phenomena of ‘Cyclonic Storm’. It seemed the horrible ‘Tornado’ (a disastrous storm of US) shown on Discovery Channel at frequent intervals is being telecasted live in the north-eastern district of Kishanganj. Around 2.15 pm, the sky was totally covered by black clouds and the surroundings in the district became very darker. Very soon the sky started thundering and it created havoc among the people. The ‘Cyclonic Storm’ followed by heavy rains caused major loss in the district headquarters and other blocks of the district.

In around on hour the storm took away the tin (steel) shed roof from the houses and left them hanged into 11,000 volt electric wires, fields and other places. Several trees got uprooted and the crop of maze was destroyed by the nature’s call. As per the inputs from district officials the Terrhagach Block of the district is most affected, where the thatched houses and wheat fields are destroyed at a large extent. Some under construction school buildings and many shops were also destroyed by the storm.

The senior citizens of the city and other parts of district told that they have never witnessed such a dangerous ‘Cyclonic Storm’ in their lives. In fact, for the entire one hour the whole district of Kishanganj remained under havoc and praying to Almighty for relief. For past a couple of years, the cyclonic storm has become very common in the Seemanchal area of Bihar especially in Kishanganj, Araria, Katihar and Purnia. As per the experts the ‘Global Warming’ can be one of the reasons behind this. Next, the geographical location of Kishanganj near the Great Himalayan range and Bay of Bengal are the factors behind such horrifying natural phenomena.
