After Mumbai's Chembur hoarding collapse tragedy, a similar incident almost snuffed out lives in the Zirakpur area of Punjab's Mohali when a huge billboard stalled for advertisement purposes crashed down on the road due to thunderstorm, destroying at least five cars parked on the roadside on Wednesday evening, June 5.
Luckily, there were no casualties or injuries, as heavy rainfall in the area forced people away from the open areas.
