Burning Kumaon

Dear Reader,

This is a report on the article on Forest Fires in Kumaon in the Kumaon Plus section of The Times of India. An Important issue raised by the media which was most necessarily required to come into limelight.Hundreds of trees burn each day due to the disastrous forest fires that have become an everyday show in Kumaon region.I being a Kumaon resident, can explain the consequences most vividly.The fires usually are spread by small bits of cigarette or bidi, which end up burning scores of trees.Thus I appreciate the attempt made by the author of the article.Not much to write this time.

Bye,
Abhishek
