The Odisha government has decided to install lightning sensors across the state so that people can be warned about possible lightning strikes to save them, an official said today.An early lightning warning system is required as lightning strikes have claimed at least 18 lives in the state, in the last three days, Odisha's Special Relief Commissioner (SRC) B P Sethi said."We can get information about lightning 45 minutes prior to lightning strike. The state government will make arrangements to send the information to the people through mass media," Sethi said.
