Seven People Killed in Separate Lightning Strikes Across Bihar in 24 Hours
In the last 24 hours, lightning strikes have killed seven people in Bihar. The incidents happened in different parts of the state, causing panic among locals. Many of the victims were working outside when the storms hit. The sudden lightning strikes left families in shock and fear.
According to reports, the deaths took place in several districts, including Samastipur, Begusarai, and Khagaria. In Samastipur, two people died while they were working in a field. In Begusarai, another victim was struck while walking on the road during heavy rainfall. The fourth victim died when a lightning bolt hit a group of people who were sheltering under a tree.
The remaining deaths occurred in Khagaria, where three people lost their lives in different areas of the district. Two of them were farmers working in their fields, while the third person was walking near his home when the lightning struck.
Local authorities have confirmed the deaths and are now taking steps to help the affected families. They have provided some immediate relief, such as financial support for the victims’ families. However, many people are still worried about their safety, especially during the monsoon season when such lightning strikes are more common.
Weather officials have warned the public about more thunderstorms and lightning in the coming days. They urge people to stay indoors during storms and avoid taking shelter under trees or open areas. Experts also advise people to stay away from tall metal objects, as these can attract lightning.
The government has promised to take further action to reduce the risk of such accidents in the future. They plan to increase awareness about lightning safety and provide better infrastructure to protect people during storms. For now, the state is focused on supporting the families who have lost their loved ones and ensuring their immediate needs are met.
These lightning deaths have sparked a renewed conversation about climate change and its effect on weather patterns. Many people believe that climate change is causing more extreme weather events like storms and lightning, making the region more dangerous than before.
