H.D. Kote/ Mysuru: The forest inferno at a portion of Nagarahole Tiger Reserve has been brought under control in a four-hour-long operation by Forest Department teams, volunteers, villagers and the general public. The fire that ironically began yesterday on World Wildlife Day (Mar. 3) destroyed over 20 hectares of the forest.
The fire erupted at Udbur in Antharasanthe range in H.D. Kote taluk at 3.30 pm on Wednesday and spread rapidly up to Manandavadi Road due to strong winds.
