The situation is becoming alarming due to the fire in Uttarakhand forests. All the efforts of the state government are proving inadequate. Fires are breaking out again in many places. Because of this, alongside the fire fighters, the Air Force also had to work hard. Considering the sensitivity of the matter, a petition was submitted to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court said that the state government and the petitioners related to the case should submit the report to the Central Competent Commission (CEC). The commission will form its opinion based on the report and report to the Supreme Court.
Human role behind 398 cases of forest fires in one year
During the hearing of the case on Wednesday, the Otterhand government told the Supreme Court that only 0.1% of the wildlife areas were affected by the forest fire. After hearing the arguments, the court said that the next hearing in this case will be held on May 15. This case was heard in the Supreme Court with Justice Bara Gabbai and Justice Sandeep Mehta. The government said that in 2023 there were 398 cases of forest fires caused by humans.
The fire broke out in only 0.1 percent of the wildlife area; The court says bluntly that the efforts are insufficient
The lawyer for the Otterhand government told the Supreme Court that forest fire incidents are dealt with strictly. So far, 350 criminal cases have been registered. 62 people were called. According to the government lawyer, people believe that 40 percent of Uttarakhand is in the grip of fire. However, only 0.1 percent of wildlife land is burning. After hearing the arguments, the bench said that relying on cloud seeding or natural rain is not a solution to this problem. The court made it clear that the government would have to take additional measures.
