In the wake of unexpected and extreme weather events during the peak summer month of May - including unseasonal rainfall, strong winds, hailstorms, and lightning strikes - the Uttar Pradesh government has stepped up its efforts to minimize damage and safeguard lives and property across the state.
According to official data here on Saturday, nearly three dozen people lost their lives during the recent pre-monsoon showers, highlighting the growing unpredictability and severity of weather conditions.
With the full monsoon season (June to September) still ahead, the government is adopting a proactive and comprehensive strategy to reduce disaster-related casualties and damage.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has directed departments to ensure timely alerts and public awareness campaigns. The focus is on educating people about precautionary measures, especially during lightning and storm events.
