At least 61 dead in India from the dust storm

At least 61 people have died from the fierce dust storm that has engulfed four Indian states since last Saturday, as further weather deterioration is forecast.

Winds at high speed, as well as thunders in many villages, have ruined homes and have dozens of damaged substances.

The northern state of Uttar Pradesh so far has the highest death toll of 38.

12 dead are in the southern state of Andhra, 9 victims were marked in the eastern state of Bengal, and two dead have been confirmed in Delhi, the BBC reports.

All four states remain at high risk rates.
