Three members of a family were killed after a large tree fell on their makeshift hut due to heavy rains and strong winds.
Delayed reports here today said that the incident happened on April 16 at a plantation, situated far away from Hingaria, a village situated close to the international border in East Jaiñtia Hills district.
The victims were identified as Asman Surong, Goldy Surong and Starty Surong, who were cousin brothers.
The family said that a tree fell on their hut while they were sleeping. The brothers usually spend the night to work in the plantation, as it takes about six hours to reach there.
