The workshop highlighted the growing threat of lightning, which poses significant risks to vulnerable groups such as farmers, agricultural labourers, outdoor workers, and students. Lightning strikes are a major cause of weather-related fatalities in India, particularly in rural and coastal areas. The discussions aimed to address these risks by improving early warning systems and implementing targeted safety measures to protect at-risk communities. The initiative underscores the need for coordinated efforts and scientific advancements to mitigate the impact of lightning incidents.
