Lightning kills 22 people in southeastern India
HYDERABAD, India (AP) — Lightning has killed 22 people, mostly farm
laborers working in fields, across the southeastern Indian state of
Andhra Pradesh.
The state’s chief minister, N. Chandrababu Naidu, says the fatalities
occurred Sunday evening when thunderstorms and rain lashed eight
districts in Andhra Pradesh.
A district cricket official says two women’s cricket teams had a narrow
escape when lightning struck a tree on the grounds where they were
playing in Guntur town.
Lightning strikes are common during India’s monsoon season, which runs
from June to September. However, Sunday’s toll was unusually high.
Weather officials in the Andhra Pradesh state capital of Hyderabad said a
low pressure system over the Bay of Bengal led to heavy downpours.
