We have to stay away from iron materials, and turn off mobile phone, radio during rains and even golf players did not hit the golf ball during the rain because golf club made from iron, and local people have to seek appropriate places to avoid lightning strikes,” he told the opening ceremony of sewage filtering system in Siem Reap Provincial Town.

We have to be cautions with the lighting strikes,” he said. Earlier Monday, it killed six people in Pursat province in a storm. At least 140 people were killed by lightning last year in Cambodia.###
