Chennai, Feb 28( BPNS)
The Wild Life in Theni forest area is in danger after an increased frequency of forest fires. Wild animals like Indian Guar, deer, wild boars, and forest pigs are in danger of being caught in the wildfire that is spreading.
It is to be noted that over the past week, there has been a frequent fire in the forest area of Theni, and forest department officials told BPNS that in most cases fire has been extinguished. The forest fire, according to the forest department of Tamil Nadu, is due to the scorching heat and rising temperature.
The fire has been reported in forest areas like Muyalparai, Ullakurutti, and Pichangarai. The forest department could extinguish the fire in the preliminary stage itself.
A senior forest officer told BPNS that the fire is a ground fire caused due to rising temperatures and the forest department and fire rescue services have extinguished the fire.
The forest department official also said that the department is closely monitoring the fire in the forests. With the summer heat rising, the forest department officials have deployed fast monitoring teams to extinguish the fire if it spreads.
