Udhampur, May 26 (ANI): A forest fire breaks out in the Narthan forest area of Panchayat Hartyan in Block Ghordi triggered by a sudden rise in temperature, in Udhampur on Tuesday. (ANI Photo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Jammu: A massive fire broke out today in Salal forest area of Reasi district in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, the Forest Department and Fire and Emergency Services have launched an operation to control the fire.<\/p>\n

The fire spread rapidly in several parts of the forest due to dry vegetation, rising temperatures and strong winds, posing a serious threat to the forest ecosystem.<\/p>\n

Firefighting teams were immediately rushed to the affected area and intensive efforts were made to control the fire and prevent it from spreading to the adjacent forest areas.<\/p>\n

Officials said the current dry weather conditions and strong winds have complicated the firefighting operations, and officials are working on a war footing to bring the situation under control.<\/p>\n

Authorities are continuously monitoring the affected area and are deploying all available resources to minimize environmental damage and protect nearby forest areas.<\/p>\n

No casualties or damage to property have been reported, so far.<\/p>\n

Officials said efforts are focused on preventing the fire from reaching populated areas and further into the forest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
