  • It aims to study thunderstorms from the formation stage, growth, and propagation over eastern parts of the country.
  • This will be done using meteorological instruments, drones, and other equipment that will aid in the systematic tracking of thunderstorms.
  • Originating over east and northeast India, south Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh, the nor’westers are extremely severe thunderstorms accompanied by squally winds.
