Mysureans have played good Samaritans by offering fruits, juices, water and snacks to Forest Department staff and volunteers engaged in dousing wild fire in Bandipur forest range.
About 400 people are engaged in extinguishing the raging fire and the Forest Department Officials had pleaded for help as acute shortage of food and water was a problem. The campaign to collect food and water from donors began at the Zoo premises here on Friday and Zoo authorities arranged 500kg water melon and 200kg of banana. A few members of public offered biscuits, buns, bread, chocolates, bottles of water and juices.
