Speaking about the terrifying experience, as per ANI, Nanhe Miyan said, “I am a labourer… I was working when the storm struck… That’s when the structure began to lift into the air. There were four other people with me. I told them, “I’ll hold this down; you tie it securely.”… We were holding onto that tin when I was swept away right along with it. My grip slipped, and I lost hold of it. I don’t know exactly what happened next, only Allah knows… I landed about 80 feet away. It was a maize field, and it was filled with water. I ended up embedded in the mud there. A man happened to be watching from nearby… He came running out of his house. He pulled me onto his shoulders… Then, he helped me sit on his motorcycle and took me away… I underwent an X-ray examination and was then taken to Bareilly. I sustained a fracture requiring a metal plate, and I have injuries all over my body. While I was being tossed through the air, I was constantly thinking of Allah… I did not think that I would survive… I want my story to reach the MLA. So far, no one has come to visit me… I have young children to support… There is no one else in the family to earn a living. I am in distress. I will only be able to work again once my injuries have healed… I appeal to the government to provide whatever assistance it can to help me… A young person, I don’t know who exactly, recorded that video of the incident…”
