Chhattisgarh information: Eleven Central Reserve Police Force troopers have been injured after a storm hit their camp in Bastar district in Chhattisgarh on Friday (May 19) afternoon, an official stated.
The camp of 241st battalion, positioned at Sedva village underneath Dharbha police station limits, some 336 kilometres from state capital Raipur, suffered substantial injury after a strong storm hit it, Inspector General of Police Bastar Sundarraj P stated.
“Eleven CRPF jawans were injured in the incident. The residential quarters of jawans were damaged as the storm blew away tin sheets that formed the roof, power lines, iron frames and false ceilings,” he stated. “The wind speed was so high that tin sheets were scattered across the camp and several trees were uprooted. The injured jawans have been admitted in the battalion hospital and are out of danger,” the IG added.
