A portion of the civil secretariat’s boundary wall and dozens of vehicles and houses were damaged as gusty winds and thundershowers hit Jammu on Wednesday evening, also plunging the city into darkness, officials said. Seven cars plying on the main road adjacent to the civil secretariat came under the barbed fencing but none of their occupants was injured, they said, adding that four of the vehicles were removed from the spot by the traffic department and efforts are on to move the other trapped vehicles. A mobile phone tower fell down in the city’s Bahu Fort area, damaging four parked motorcycles and a residential house, the officials said.
