Daya argues that the Indian government is neglecting its duty to educate the population about the dangers of lightning, saying, 'A bare minimum would be to at least spread information about all things lightning at local government level.' This perspective highlights the urgent need for awareness and preparedness in response to increasing lightning incidents due to climate change.
Sanjay Srivastava emphasizes the importance of sophisticated technology in predicting lightning strikes: 'Detecting the precise location of a lightning cloud-to-ground strike is a calculation mechanism where a minimum of three devices are required.' His insight underscores the significance of having a reliable warning system to save lives and mitigate the impacts of lightning.
As of April 2022, India's National Remote Sensing Center had 46 lightning-detection sensors and the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology had 83 in operation. This extensive network is crucial for monitoring and predicting lightning strikes, as noted by Srivastava, who leads efforts to enhance these systems across the country.
