Baramulla, January 12: A major forest fire broke out late Tuesday in the upper reaches of the Niloosa Bijhama area in Uri, North Kashmir. The blaze, fuelled by a prolonged dry spell in the region, quickly spread across several hectares of forest land, threatening local biodiversity. Teams from the Forest Department, Fire and Emergency Services, and the Indian Army's Chinar Corps were immediately deployed to the site. Working alongside local volunteers, rescue teams used fire beaters and portable equipment to create firebreaks, successfully preventing the flames from reaching nearby residential settlements. While no casualties or damage to property have been reported, officials confirmed substantial damage to the forest floor and young saplings. Authorities have urged residents to avoid lighting fires near forested zones as dry conditions persist.
