On Monday, a team of Nepali Army, Nepal Police and Armed Police came and returned with anti-firing to protect the human settlement of Hurka Bhanjyang from the fire.

'The wind is blowing excessively, the fire in the forest has not been controlled,' said the ward chairman Dhakal, He said that he is not in a position to live with confidence. He says that it is very difficult to put out the fire as this place is very dry and lacks water.

The fire that spread from Bolde has now reached Harkvanjyang. He said that there is a risk of the fire spreading to Thalidanda, Chalti, Narayan places due to the strong winds.
