A severe forest fire near the Naina Devi temple in Kangra’s Nagrota Bagwan area briefly trapped nearly 200 people attending a religious gathering. Emergency services, including the administration and the fire brigade, successfully evacuated all individuals. Simultaneously, the Indian Army and the Indian Air Force (IAF) deployed resources to successfully contain another major forest fire raging on the slopes of Kasauli. The dual operations highlight the critical situation facing Himachal Pradesh, with multiple major fires demanding immediate response across different regions of the state.
