The raging fire, which causes extensive damage to flora and fauna, has the forest department on its toes. Forest officials say that most fire incidents are started by human negligence as it's been noticed that they start in and around habitations. More than a dozen such incidents have been reported from areas surrounding Shimla so far this year. The smoke blanket has become a health hazard for residents and environmentalists have sought a solution to the recurring problem. Here is a report from Mohammed Ghazali.
