He said the field staff along with fire squads, ODRAF, Fire personnel in association and support of district administration are on full alert regarding the fire situation.
“The field staff are meticulously engaged in fire dousing operations in association with PRIs & local communities to prevent any proliferation. The fire squads are provided with firefighting gear for their safety and improved efficiency.
