Deadly lightning strikes across Uttar Pradesh

Thunderstorms and lightning strikes have left nine people dead across Uttar Pradesh, hitting places like Prayagraj, Sambhal, Bijnor, and Gorakhpur. The victims included families, farmers, and kids who were caught off guard by the storms. Even though UP usually sees fewer lightning deaths than other states, this is a reminder that nature can still surprise us.

TL;DR

Rural areas at higher risk

Lightning strikes are especially dangerous in rural areas where people often work outdoors. These recent tragedies show why it's important to stay alert during storms and keep spreading awareness about safety—simple steps can save lives when the weather turns risky.
