There have been reports of a forest fire in the Hadgarh Wildlife Sanctuary
in Keonjhar district of Odisha on Monday. The fire has been reported from
nine points of the Hadgarh Elephant Sanctuary.
Special teams of forest department and fire department have been appointed
to extinguish the fire. Forest animals are now in danger due to the effects
of extreme heat and fire. However, the forest officer said that the fire
will be brought under control at the earliest.
At present, the fire is spreading everywhere due to the burning of dry
leaves. So the people living inside the sanctuary have been requested not
to start a fire. There are nine beat houses under the Hadgarh range and the
staff are on guard at each place to prevent further spread of fire.
Further it is worth mentioning that, as many as seven ODRAF teams have been
sent to seven vulnerable forest divisions of the Odisha for forest fire
response duty in order to prevent loss of life and properties owing to
forest fire.
The deputed ODRAF teams have been directed to carry all the equipment
required for forest fire response along with the PPE kit such as Gum Boot,
Helmet, Gloves etc. The team shall return back to their respective units
soon after the said duty is over.
