MP's Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve Under Fire Since March 29

Known for its Royal Bengal Tigers, Madhya Pradesh's Bandhavgarh National Park is ablaze since March 29. Reportedly, the raging fire has spread to Khitoli, Magadhi and Tala zones while efforts are underway to douse the fire. However, complaining about the ill-timed action by the authorities, the locals said that necessary arrangements were not made to extinguish wildfires. Recently in March, Odisha's Similipal Reserve had witnessed a similar fate concerning environmentalists.
