A massive fire broke out in the Ladiyakata area of the Nainital Air Force Centre on April 27. The blaze has been burning for over 36 hours, sweeping through dense forests in the mountainous region. The Indian Air Force (IAF) has deployed its personnel and Mi-17 choppers in a dousing operation in the area. According to officials, the IAF choppers are lifting water from the nearby Bhimtal Lake in Nainital and spraying it in the area to contain and eventually put out the raging forest fire. Rahul Anand, the executive officer of Nainital Nagar Palika, informed ANI after an aerial inspection that MI-17 choppers are jet-spraying on the affected areas amid the raging forest fire. Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami said that the Indian Army and Air Force helicopters are assisting in controlling forest fires. Dhami said today that the fire poses a substantial challenge and that all necessary resources are being mobilized to address the situation.
