Manipal: Two persons sustained injuries after a huge tree, which got uprooted, fell on them inside KMC hospital premises in Manipal on Friday, June 21. Four cars were also damaged in the incident.

The incident occurred in the afternoon outside the KMC Manipal Trauma Centre. It is learnt that the victims were coming out of the trauma centre when the tree came crashing on them.
