Nagaur district in Rajasthan witnessed unusual weather conditions as the area was hit by heavy rains and hailstorms causing it to be covered in a blanket of ice on Thursday.
Several areas of Nagaur, including villages of Chhapri, Maulasar, Keechak, were hit by heavy hailstorm that caused roads and roofs of houses to be completely covered in sheets of ice making it look like snow.
The hailstorm has caused significant damage to crops in the region. Reportedly, several animals and birds have also sustained injuries.
Ice-clearing operations are currently underway.
This is the first time that a hailstorm of this magnitude has been observed in the region.
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), dense fog to very dense fog is likely in North Rajasthan in the next 24 hours, while a dense fog is likely in the same area on December 15.
