Wildfire in Himalayan region

By Thakur Prasad Acharya, Myagdi, Feb 12: Wildfire has spread in the Himalayan region of the Myagdi district due to the lack of snowfall this year.

A wildfire has recently been seen at the foothill of Gurja Himalaya from Takam of Dhaulagiri Rural Municipality-7.

Wildfires are frequently seen nowadays in the mountains that would otherwise be covered with thick snow this time around.

In the past, snow would be thick enough even at this village of Takam, but even mountains to be covered with snow are mostly naked now as there has been no rainfall or snowfall for the last five months in this winter.
