A powerful sandstorm hit India this afternoon, creating spectacular but also dangerous scenes.
The sky was completely covered by a thick layer of dust, while the day darkened so much that it resembled night.
The phenomenon occurred around 2:00 pm local time, with the most intense effects recorded in Churu and surrounding areas, where visibility was reduced to just a few meters.
Due to the difficult conditions, many vehicles were forced to stop or drive at very low speeds. Drivers used their headlights even in broad daylight, as the dense dust made visibility difficult.

According to meteorological data, winds reached speeds of up to 70 kilometers per hour. Although the phenomenon lasted about 30 minutes, it was enough to cause significant disruption in the area.
Residents and workers in open areas immediately sought shelter indoors to protect themselves from the strong winds and dense dust that swept through the region.
