New Delhi, 27 July 2022

As per news report of BBC, more thunderstorm with lightning has been forecast in northern parts of the state for Wednesday and Thursday. Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has asked people to closely follow the advice by the state's disaster management authority. Hundreds die in India every year in lightning incidents during monsoon rains. One of the reasons cited for the high number of deaths is the large number of people working outdoors in India compared to other parts of the world, which makes them more vulnerable.
