Fazilka: A massive tornado appeared out of nowhere suddenly in the Bakainwala village causing injuries to half a dozen people and extreme damage to over 50 houses. According to the villagers, the tornado started around at 4 pm on Friday and caused unexpected damage to the area. 

The tornado caused extensive damage to the crops and many rooftops of houses were blown away.  However no loss of life was reported, but livestock was injured. High-intensity winds blew over the area uprooting trees & damaging the crops. The tornado later crossed over to the Pakistan side giving the villagers a sense of relief.
