A man was critically injured after being lifted into the air while desperately holding onto a tin shed during a powerful dust storm in Bareilly district of Uttar Pradesh. The dramatic incident occurred in Bamiyana village under the Bhamora police station area when strong winds uprooted a tin structure at a local marriage hall.

Nanhe sustained multiple fractures and breathing difficulties as a result of the fall. He is currently undergoing treatment at a private hospital, where his condition remains critical. Medical staff report that he is being closely monitored for internal injuries.
The incident highlights the dangers posed by sudden severe weather events in the region. Local authorities have advised residents to remain indoors during storms and avoid attempting to secure loose structures.
