A massive dust storm swept through Delhi-NCR on Thursday following a sudden change in weather conditions, disrupting normal life across the region. Thick layers of dust were seen covering large parts of the city, with visuals from areas like Kartavya Path near India Gate showing reduced visibility and dust-laden air.
Noida, Ghaziabad, and Greater Noida were among the worst affected, with several sectors in Noida reporting severe dust accumulation. The storm came after a prolonged period of intense heatwave conditions, adding to the discomfort of residents.
