Expressing concern over the incidents of forest fires in the tribal district, Kinnaur Deputy Commissioner Dr Amit Kumar Sharma has urged local panchayat representatives to coordinate with the Forest Department and ensure awareness programmes for the people.

The DC said in order to mitigate climate change and preserve the natural beauty of the district, it was everyone’s moral responsibility to protect forest resources.

He added that the Forest Department has deployed fire watchers to curb fire-related incidents. “Forests play an important role in the livelihoods of tribal people as humans and forests are interdependent,” the DC said.
