DAMINI - LIGHTING ALERT APP
Every year 2000 to 2500 people die in India due to lightning. In such a situation, the Ministry of Earth Sciences of the Central Government has created an app that will alert you 30-40 minutes before lightning strikes. The name of this app is Damini. This app provides premature notification of lightning as well as rescue information. You can download it for free from Google Play Store.
The Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM) has created this app. Work on this was going on for the last 6 months. Senior scientist Dr Sunil Pawar of the team making it told that along with the information of lightning fall, the app also tells how to protect and get first aid. While working in the field, during travel, while working around the house, if you get a warning of lightning, then you are given a picture of how to protect.
Dr. Pawar further told that on opening the app, a circle showing the map of the location where you are. This circle will make 20 kilometers in diameter aware of the lightning warning occurring in the next 30-40 minutes. In the place where you are present there will be information about whether lightning is going to happen or not, in Hindi and English below the circle. Further, this warning is expected to be given in regional languages as well.
Scientists say that compared to other countries, a lot of people in India go out of their homes for farming purposes. There is a high probability of falling into lightning. This app can be used for all people except agricultural workers. Half of India in the Arabian Ocean is like the peninsular, so these monsoon winds affect a large part of India. People can protect themselves better through this app.
