REASI, June 13: Massive forest fires have broken out in several areas of Reasi district, with flames spreading rapidly across Simbal Choa, Grah Morh and Goswan.
As per officials, dense forests in these regions have been badly affected, raising concerns for both wildlife and nearby residents.
Though light rain was reported in parts of the district, it failed to bring the fire under control, officials said.
