At least 24 people were killed and dozens more injured in thunderstorms in the run-up to the monsoon season in India’s eastern state of Bihar, Reuters has reported.
At least five people died when their houses collapsed, and hundreds of huts were destroyed and trees uprooted in eight of the state's 38 districts during storms that raged for several hours on Sunday, Reuters added.
Several people were killed by lightning strikes, having been caught in the open or having ignored warnings to stay clear of electricity transmission lines.
