Forest fire in north India destroys woodlands

Forest fire in India's northern state of Uttarakhand destroys vast tracts of woodlands, causing breathing problem to residents in the surrounding villages.

The massive fire in the Kumaon mountainous region is disrupting normal life for the villagers. Forest life, wild animals, medicine, flora and fauna have been destroyed in the blaze, divisional forest officer said late Monday.

The dense smoke emanating from the fire is causing suffocation among the people residing in the nearby villages, he said.

The forest rangers, with the assistance of locals, are engaged in measures to douse the fire, the cause of which is yet to be determined.
