At least three persons were killed and another injured when a temporary tent house collapsed during a nor'wester in Odisha's Keonjhar district on Thursday afternoon.
The deceased were identified as Alok Chipindia, Sagar Nayak, and Petu Nayak, all associated with Maa Tarini Tent House.
Odisha chief minister Mohan Charan Majhi announced an ex gratia of ₹4 lakh each for the next of kin of the deceased.
This comes after a tornado battered parts of Mayurbhanj district in March, killing three persons and injuring several others.
Several areas in Odisha reported damage to crops, snapped power lines, and temporary structures due to gusty winds and thunderstorms in April.
