Lightning forecasting tech would prevent 300 annual deaths in just UP: ISRO chief
ISRO Chairman V Narayanan, while speaking at the Remote Sensing Applications Centre (RSAC) in Lucknow, emphasised the need to develop an accurate lightning forecasting technology. It'd prevent an average of 300 deaths annually in UP alone, he added. He also met UP CM Yogi Adityanath on Monday, who proposed a dedicated satellite to get timely alerts related to lightning strikes.
