PATNA, INDIA - At least 107 people died from lightning strikes in northern and eastern India on Thursday , officials said, during the early stages of the annual monsoon season.
But Bihar's Disaster Management Minister Lakshmeshwar Rai told AFP this was one of the highest daily tolls from lightning the state had recorded in recent years. Rai warned the death toll could rise further as his government was still waiting on casualty reports from the interior parts of the state. In neighbouring Uttar Pradesh, most of the deaths were reported in Deoria district close to the Nepal border, and the holy city of Prayagraj, authorities said.
