Boko, Sept 1: In a tragic incident, one person was killed and three others sustained serious injuries following a lightning strike at Lampi, a border area between Assam and Meghalaya, on Monday afternoon.

The deceased has been identified as Mongal Ray (47), a resident of Gohalkona under Boko.

According to reports, Ray was struck by lightning while inside his residence, leading to his death on the spot.

Three other individuals—Tikhor Boro, Dhaneswar Boro, and Parimal Boro—who were in close proximity to the victim’s house at the time of the incident, suffered critical injuries. All three hail from Gohalkona and had reportedly travelled to Lampi for daily wage labour.

The injured were immediately shifted to the Boko Primary Health Centre for medical treatment. Sources at the health centre informed that the condition of the injured persons is stable, though they remain under observation.

The incident has triggered concern among residents of the border region, particularly in light of the erratic weather conditions prevailing in recent days. Local authorities have appealed to the public to exercise caution and avoid exposure during thunderstorms.

Further inquiries into the circumstances surrounding the incident are currently underway.
