Snowball kills 1 in Sahiwal

SAHIWAL: A baffling anomaly has occurred in a village of Sahiwal where a snowball has claimed a life amidst high temperature.

Amid temperatures of up to 43 degrees celsius, a heavy snowball fell from the sky, killing a 60 year old woman.

Khursheed Bibi was sleeping under the open sky in her yard when the snowball appeared in the sky and circled in the air before falling on her head. Other members of her family, who were sleeping beside her, are completely safe.

Villagers say the snowball which fell in Khursheed's yard, woke up the whole village with a sound as powerful as an explosion.

Rescue incharge Abdul Malik reached the spot with his team and also had the snowball weighed.
