Two persons were injured when a tree came crashing down on a two-wheeler and a house at Amona-Bicholim, as heavy rains lashed various parts of Bicholim on Thursday evening.
According to reports, Pradeep Naik and Kishore Naik sustained minor injuries and they were later taken to a hospital for treatment.
One of them was reportedly seated on a stationery two-wheeler and the other was in the house when the incident took place. The two-wheeler and a portion of the house were damaged in the incident. A fire tender went to the site to clear the debris.
Elsewhere, many trees got uprooted and fell on electricity wires, disrupting power supply at many villages.
