Sir,
The recent forecast of ‘extreme forest fire’ risk in Jammu and Kashmir is alarming. With rising temperatures and dry conditions, the threat to our forests is imminent.
Human activities, such as stubble burning and careless behaviour, significantly contribute to these fires.
It’s crucial for authorities to implement robust fire management programs, including public education, improved detection methods, and better coordination for fire response.
Immediate action is needed to protect our forests, which are vital for carbon sequestration and biodiversity. We must all play our part in preventing these devastating fires to safeguard our environment and future.
