Prime Minister Narendra Modi바카라s office will closely monitor the fires that have broken out in Goa바카라s Mhadei Wildlife Sanctuary, where choppers of the Indian Air Force and Navy are deployed to control the blaze, state바카라s forest minister Vishwajit Rane said on Saturday.
A few pockets in the wildlife sanctuary and adjoining areas continued to witness forest fires on Saturday for the seventh day.
Rane took to social media to share that the Prime Minister바카라s Office has informed him that the defence ministry would provide full support and the PMO would monitor the situation closely.
바카라The entire state of Goa is extremely grateful for the intervention of the Honourable Prime Minister in protecting our forests and providing us with full Defence support with helicopters for dousing the wildfires,바카라 he tweeted. The Mhadei Wildlife Sanctuary, located in the north-eastern part of the coastal state along the border with Karnataka, is known for its high biodiversity.
The Indian Navy has deployed helicopters with 바카라Large Area Aerial Liquid Dispersion Equipment바카라 mounted on them to carry out sorties to douse the fires, a defence spokesperson had said earlier.
As Goa바카라s forest minister, Rane said, 바카라I can't begin to express my gratitude to the Honourable Prime Minister. We will keep the Honourable Prime Minister's office updated on a daily basis on the state of fires.바카라
The minister said that as of Saturday, 11 forest fires were active in various places including Mhadei Wildlife Sanctuary. On Tuesday, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant had chaired a State Disaster Management Authority meeting to oversee the situation, while Rane had claimed the fire was 바카라man-made바카라 and had warned of action under the Forest Act for those violating norms.
