According to the information, the fire has engulfed a portion of the forest and a vehicle of the Fire and Emergency Services Department along with police personal are engaged to extinguish the fire to control it from spreading further.It may be recalled that two days ago there was a terrible fire in this forest area which caused a lot of damage to the forest and the fire had spread from Mansar to the forests of Deon Panchayat of Purmandal. This evening, the fire again broke out and it engulfed hundreds of trees and wild animals. Local resident Saurav Khajuria said that there is a lot of forest area, the vehicles of the Fire and Emergency Services Department will not work because they are not able to reach the area due to terrain. This has been a cause of worry as fire may spread if not controlled immediately to a vast area. The people are demanding that the helicopter be used to douse the blaze. Otherwise it will destroy the rest of the forests too.
