A thunderstorm lashed parts of western Uttar Pradesh on 9 May, killing nine people and injuring four others, a week after a freak weather system had battered the region.
Four people died in Etawah district, three in Mathura and one in Agra in mishaps related to this evening's thunderstorm, Principal Secretary Information Avanish Awasthi told reporters.
Another death was reported earlier in the evening from Hathras district, where a 15-year-old boy was struck by lightning while returning from the fields in Mohabbatpura village.
An hailstorm also struck Hathras in the evening.
A tree fell on a house in Agra's Etmadpur area, killing one person, Awasthi said.
Four people were injured as severe winds and rain lashed parts of Etawah district. Strong winds also hit the state capital.
Awasthi said the district magistrates have been asked to distribute relief among the storm-hit people immediately or latest by 10 May morning.
Thunderstorms and lightning on 2-3 May had killed at least 134 people and injured more than 400 in five states, the Home Ministry said on 8 May.
Uttar Pradesh was the hardest hit with 80 deaths, most of them in Agra district.
