A 10-year-old boy was killed in a lightning strike at Narona village in Aland taluk of Kalaburagi district on Saturday, as the Kalyana Karnataka region, which was reeling under extreme heatwaves for a couple of months, received sporadic rainfall for the last few days, drastically bringing down the temperature. Parts of Kalaburagi, Bidar, Raichur, Koppal and Yadgir districts received good rainfall on Saturday.
The Narona police said that the boy, a Class 4 student, was returning home with his father in a bullock cart after finishing work at a field. He was killed on the spot while his father and the bullock suffered minor injuries.
