*Iron Bed Blown onto Electric Pole and Stuck There!*

An sudden unseasonal storm accompanied by torrential rain, which struck just a few hours ago, has thoroughly battered the Selu taluka and Ghorad region of Wardha district. This natural calamity has caused extensive damage to the area, completely disrupting daily life. Amidst this storm, a truly spine-chilling and astonishing incident has also come to light.

*An Iron Bed Stuck on an Electric Pole!*

The intensity of the storm was so immense that a large **iron bed, situated in the courtyard of a house, was lifted into the air by the gale-force winds and landed directly on—and became stuck to—an electric pole located along the roadside.** Local residents were left stunned by this bizarre and dramatic sight. Fortunately, there was no loss of life involved; however, this incident serves as a vivid illustration of the sheer intensity of the storm.

*Shop Roofs Blown Away; Extensive Damage Caused*

In Selu and the surrounding rural areas, the stormy winds ripped the tin roofing sheets off numerous houses and shops. In some locations, entire shop sheds were lifted into the air and flung hundreds of meters away. This has resulted in significant financial losses for both traders and farmers. Additionally, uprooted trees blocking the roads in several places caused disruptions to vehicular traffic.

*Power Supply Disrupted and Mobile Networks Down*

Due to the unseasonal rain and storm, electric poles have bent in many places, while power lines have snapped in others. As a precautionary safety measure—and due to technical faults—**the power supply to the entire region has been cut off.**

> **Mobile Network Disruption:** The loss of electricity, combined with the impact of the storm, has severely affected the mobile towers in the area, leading to a complete breakdown of mobile network services. As a result, the **mobile network in the Selu and Ghorad areas has completely shut down.** Residents are finding it difficult to communicate with one another, and internet services have also been disrupted.

*Appeal from the Administration*

Citizens have been left frightened by this sudden crisis; consequently, the power distribution company (Mahavitaran) and the local administration are working on a war footing. Efforts are currently underway to restore the power supply and clear obstructions from the roads. The administration has issued an appeal urging citizens not to touch fallen power lines and to remain in safe locations.
