OVER 4,500 hectare area in Odisha has so far been affected by wildfire in the ongoing forest fire season even as the prevailing heatwave condition, expected to cause more harm, throws fresh challenge for forest and wildlife officials in dealing with the menace.
As per the latest forest fire report of the Forest and Environment department, a staggering 28,963 fire points have already been detected between January 1 and May 8.
The wildfire incidents that include at least 8,208 large forest fire points, have affected an estimated 4,564.58 ha—around 500 ha more as compared to the forest fire season 2024 in which the total area affected in wildfire in Odisha was 4,067.05 ha.
