Major fire in Udhampur forests, locals urge administration to deploy IAF choppers

Hindustan Times  

A major fire raging in the forests of Darsoo in Udhampur district for the past couple of days has not been controlled fully yet, officials said. Another local Harvinder Singh said that they urged the administration to seek help from the IAF and deploy helicopters to douse the fire. To bolster firefighting efforts, the State Disaster Relief Force joined local teams on Tuesday but the fire continues to spread, exacerbated by winds. The forest department officials and local residents took several hours to bring the fire under control.
