Forest Fires Rage in Baikunthapur, Gorakhnath Communities
A significant forest fire has erupted in the Gorakhnath Community Forest in Kavrepalanchok, Nepal, starting late Sunday night and rapidly spreading due to strong winds. Local authorities, including the Nepal Army, police, and community members, are engaged in ongoing firefighting efforts, but the rugged terrain and lack of water have hindered their progress. While no human casualties have been reported, the fire threatens nearby settlements and drinking water projects in Thalidanda and Hark Bhanjyang. Ward Chair Kuber Dhakal noted that the fire has damaged approximately seven hectares of forest and remains a risk to local communities. The situation is being closely monitored, with helicopters on standby should additional support be needed. This incident follows previous forest fires in the region, highlighting ongoing challenges in fire management during the dry season.
