India– Forests spread over 12 hectares of area near Vadi Rupgadh village in Bardipada range in south Gujarat’s Tapi and Dang districts were affected in a major fire that broke out on Friday. However, the forest officials were yet to assess the exact loss to the green cover and wildlife.
“We could see fire in the three hills in the dark. We feared it could spread towards our village,” a tribal from Vadi Rupgadh village said.
