Hanagodu/Mysuru: The efforts of Forest Department officials and staff in taking measures to prevent forest fires at Nagarahole Tiger Reserve has paid with rich dividends. As there were no forest fire incidents, the National Park has earned a 'zero fire spot' tag.
Since 10 years, there have been incidents of forest fires at various zones in the Reserve, destroying large swathes of land along with wild animals, flora and fauna. This year, however, using modern equipment and technology, the Forest Department employees have been working relentlessly and were successful in preventing forest fires.
