Baramulla: Amid rains and thunderstorm, heavy hailstorm hit north Kashmir’s Baramulla district on Wednesday afternoon inflicting large-scale damage to fruit industry by hammering down blossoming apple orchards, vegetable fields and other fruit trees.

“The hailstorm continued for about 5 to 10 minutes in many areas leaving a layer of white icy stones on the ground. Blossoming fruit orchards and vegetables suffered extensive damage due to the storm,” said Showkat Ahmed, an orchardist.
