Yesterday late night i too was among those who succeeded in putting off the forest fire at Chujachen, Rongli. Though no news of human casualties was recorded but the late evening forest fire within 6-7 hours destroyed zinger crops and other crops in this village.
I have never seen Sikkim go without rain for so long, I think it has been 6 months since it last rained heavily.
ReplyDeleteThe dried up forest are like tinder box, accidents just waiting to happen.
maybe the ill effects of global warming , we do desperately need the rain.
Ya i agree to you Vidya....Global warming is showing up in this part of the himalayan belt. it was a horrific experience yesterday.
