Dehradun: WITH OVER 1,000 incidents of forest fire reported over the last six months, including 45 in the last 24 hours alone, Uttarakhand Sunday reached out to the Centre for helicopters and personnel from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) even as Chief Minister Tirath Singh Rawat held an emergency meeting of state government officials.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah posted on Twitter that he has been briefed about the situation by Rawat and that directions have been issued to send the equipment and personnel needed.

In the emergency meeting, Rawat directed Forest officials and district authorities to not sanction regular leave for their staff until the situation is brought under control.

According to the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO), over 12,000 Forest personnel have been deployed for fire-fighting operations. Forest Department data show that 1,028 incidents of forest fire affected over 1,359 hectares since October 1, 2020 — after the rains — mainly in the districts of Nainital, Almora, Tehri Garhwal and Pauri Garhwal.

At least five people and seven animals are reported to have been killed in these fires.
