Frequent lightning strikes in the Brahmaputra Valley pose significant risks to local communities, particularly during the pre-monsoon season. Lightning is a major natural hazard, causing up to 24,000 fatalities globally each year. In neighbouring Bangladesh, which experiences similar weather patterns, approximately 300 deaths are reported annually, often affecting agricultural workers in open fields. The high frequency of lightning in the Brahmaputra Valley increases the likelihood of injuries, fatalities, and damage to infrastructure.
