1894 Hailstorm Incident

The fall of hailstones, although it lasted for an hour or so, was so heavy and incessant that the accumulation of the stones rose to a height from 4 to 6 feet and it took 10 to 11 days to thaw. Six person fell victims to this occurrence. The bodies of 5 of them were buried under ice. The sixth, a boy of 11 years, was carried away by the force of the flood to the Ner dam on Yerla river and was lost. About 835 cattle are also said to have been lost. Crops of Bakshi and Khapli wheat have been completely damaged. The loss suffered by the people of village was apparently very serious.[9]
