RAJOURI, May 31: After multiple factors have sparked a series of forest fires in the Nowshera<\/a> Sub-Division of Rajouri District of Jammu and Kashmir<\/a>, Shweta Deonia, Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) said on Friday that most of the fire are manmade and in rarest of rare cases, they occur naturally.\u201cWe have 11 blocks in the Nowshera division<\/a> and we put five fire watchers in each block. When any fire incident happens, we engage every fire watcher in that place. The only good thing is that these are ground fires and we try that they don\u2019t get converted into crown fires. As it is very difficult to manage crown fire. We can control ground fires with the instruments available to us. It\u2019s our observation that rarely there occurs any natural fire, most of them are manmade, or anthropogenic,\u201d Shweta Deonia, DFO, Forest Division in Nowshera said.
\nShe also mentioned that people smoking cigarettes and throwing their buds in the forest area, which gets dry during summers is also one of the factors in increasing forest fires.
\n\u201cAt this time our whole area is filled with Chir Pine which gets dry during this time and people smoke cigarettes and throw its bud there. Even a small spark takes a fierce form. I appeal to people to avoid forest areas, especially using cigarettes and any other such things,\u201d she said.
\n\u201cWe have 24 teams of the forest department. We have a shortage of manpower. Every year we get a lot of retirements. So it is obvious that there is a shortage of staff,\u201d the DFO added.
\nMeanwhile, Forest Fire is still in the Nowshera subdivision in Chingus and Sunderbani Range as the region experiences temperature rise and thus heatwaves.
\nThe resultant smoke has severely polluted the air, reducing visibility and posing health risks to residents and travellers alike.
\nThe local people, including those living near the forest, as well as small market vendors, hotel owners, shopkeepers, and dhaba operators, are grappling with the adverse effects of the fires and the accompanying smoke.<\/p>\n
