Long power cut around Jajmau

 Recently, Jajmau residents faced a long power cut. It was quite intolerable. Some residents were reportedly sheltered at their relatives' residences in nearby localities. It was definitely a harrowing experience, undoubtedly. People, anyhow, tolerated the worst situation. Such a long-duration power failure in the main localities of the Jajmau area left hapless residents, old ladies, young mothers, and others leaving their homes for relatives' homes, where power supply continued without any disruption.  A totally different scene erupted over a little longer power disruption in Jajmau. There was no clear-cut information about the restoration of the power supply. The residents honestly endured the unsatisfactory situation with the support of an inverter up to 07 a.m.  Certain families moved to their relatives' places to beat the heat.  Even the political leaders kept on asking for the exact timing of the restoration of the normal electricity supply.

Does lightning strike around dung?


Let's be absolutely practical. People's claim that where animal dung is kept, that area is most often struck by dreadful lightning. A person can rely upon traditions, negating rational visions. Does lightning strike only the places where dung lies in the open?

If there’s one thing I heard recently on the phenomenon of lightning for the first time, it is that it more often strikes the area littered with dung. I have not heard of such an idea throughout my lifetime. It is a fact that lightning and severe thunder happen in the sky, thereby causing damage to the verdant living planet. 

A simple-aged man was boldly pointing out that there was nothing improper in putting his views regarding lightning that struck dungs more often. He said it with all his confidence. He was not even prepared to bear all-out opposition to his concept, which was in no way acceptable.

While reacting to the recent day lightning in Kanpur, he said confidently that lightning strikes the exact stretch of land that remains covered with a mound of dung. It is not worth accepting for many rational people. The talk about lightning falling upon dung in the field is scientifically baseless. This could either be hearsay or something else.

It is wise not to pay quick attention to these ambiguous points or something that has no scientific evidence at present. Striking the lightning on dung remains an illogical rustic belief at this rational time in every manner. 

The popular link between lightning and dung is not a natural or, frankly, direct one. There is no inherently straightforward connection between animals' dung and lightning in nature, as has been clarified by experts. 

Lightning is a natural electrical discharge in the atmosphere, while dung is animal waste. There is no controversy on this proven fact. 

However, there is emerging technology that runs artificial lightning to treat animal dung, specifically cow dung, to reduce methane emissions. There is no inherent link between dung and lightning in nature. Lightning is a natural electrical release in the atmosphere, while dung is animal waste.
