Raging: The fire that broke out in two places in Chamundi Hills on Monday.
MYSORE: A major fire was reported at Nagarahole National Park on Monday. The fire, which destroyed large tracts of vegetation was noticed at Metikuppe, Veerahosanahalli and surrounding ranges but there are no reliable estimates of the extent of damage. Both Nagarahole and Bandipur National Parks have been ravaged by fires this season due to lack of rain. The region last received precipitation during September and October. Sources in the Forest Department said this was one of the longest dry spells experienced in both Bandipur and Nagarahole. Meanwhile, fire broke out at Chamundi Hills at two places late on Monday night. The fire was visible along a stretch of nearly 2 kms near Uttanahalli. But the extent of damage is not clear. Fire engines were rushed to the spot but they could not reach the exact spot where the fire had broken out.
