As India experiences a sharp rise in lightning strikes, the death toll from these natural hazards continues to climb. With more than 100,000 fatalities recorded since 1967 and over 18 million strikes in the past year alone, the government has taken steps to raise awareness and implement safety measures. However, the most vulnerable are often those working in outdoor occupations, such as farming. Residents in lightning-prone areas are now taking precautions to stay safe during storms.
