Chaired by collector Hema Kanta Say, the meeting discussed ways to tackle forest inferno which engulf vast areas of Similipal every year besides causing loss of valuable flora and fauna.

"Many parts of the forest become dry during this period making it prone to catching fire easily. Once a fire occurs in a certain part of the forest, it eventually spreads across other areas and becomes difficult to contain," he said.
