Two CRPF personnel, Constables Mahendra Kumar and S Sahuat Alam, tragically lost their lives due to a lightning strike during a training session at an anti-Naxalite center in Dantewada, Chhattisgarh, on Friday afternoon. This incident occurred around 3 pm, and despite immediate medical response, both were declared dead upon arrival at the hospital. This follows another recent tragedy where a 23-year-old jawan, Kamlesh Hemla, was killed by lightning during an anti-Naxal operation in Bijapur district just a day prior. The deaths underscore the dangers faced by CRPF personnel operating in the Naxal-affected regions, where they are frequently deployed for area domination and anti-insurgency operations. The families of the deceased have been informed, and the incidents highlight the perils of their work in adverse weather conditions.
