Mysore/Mysuru: Director of Bandipur Tiger Reserve Dr. P. Ramesh Kumar has said “Precautions are being taken to protect forest resources in summer by taking up round the clock surveillance measures.”
With summer approaching, there is a rise in sweltering heat during the day. With zero cases of forest fires reported in summer at Bandipur forest in the last two years, the personnel are leaving no stone unturned to check the cases of forest fire this year. In all, 500 fire watchers and over 250 personnel are deployed in 13 ranges of the forest to protect forest resources, he added.
