Bhubaneswar: The wildfire that initially broke out in the Godibari forest has now spread to more areas in the Chandaka forest, posing a significant threat to the rich biodiversity of the region.
The flames reached the Jhumuka forest area, intensifying concerns among forest officials and nearby residents. A forest team has been deployed to monitor the situation closely and prevent the fire from spreading further within the sanctuary.
While the exact cause of the fire remains unclear, human activity is suspected to be a major contributing factor. The thick smoke emanating from the forest signifies the magnitude of the inferno.
Forest authorities are working tirelessly to bring the blaze under control, but the task is proving to be challenging. Unfortunately, Chandaka forest is not the only area affected by wildfires.
