Forest Fire Rages in Uttarakhand's Valley of Flowers

Forest Fire Rages in Uttarakhand's Valley of Flowers

There is a big fire in the Valley of Flowers, a special place in Uttarakhand, India.

The fire has been burning for five days and is very high up in the mountains.

The forest workers cannot reach the fire because the area is too steep and dangerous.

They asked the Air Force for help.

The fire is happening because it hasn't rained much, the trees are dry, and there are lots of dry leaves on the ground.

The workers are trying to find out how big the fire is and how to stop it.

This kind of fire happens every year in Uttarakhand, and this year, the state has had many fire alerts.

The forest officers are working hard to put out the fire, but it might take two more days to control it completely.
