Jaipur:
A massive fire in Rajasthan’s Sariska Tiger Reserve has spread to over 10 sqkm, the size of some 1,800 football fields, officials have said. Two Indian Air Force, or IAF, helicopters are dropping water over the affected area, they said.
The fire threatens the territory of a tigress, codenamed ST-17 for tracking by scientists, which is at the area with her two cubs, officials have said.
Firefighters are yet to bring the situation under control. The two IAF helicopters have been scooping up water from Rajasthan’s Siliserh Lake and dropping over the forest fire in Sariska.
