The fire that broke out in Bardiya National Park two weeks ago has spread to more than 20 percent of the area. The fire has affected the areas around the buffer zone with smoke.
The fire has affected residents of Thakurbaba, Madhuban, Barbardiya and Basgadhi municipality areas. Despite efforts to control the fire in one place, it is spreading to other places. Social activist Nawaraj Dhungana said that the smoke is causing burning, itching and breathing problems. 'When I wake up in the morning, my eyes burn and turn red, and small children cry and scream due to burning eyes,' he said, 'The fire has badly affected public life.'
The fire started in the Chure hills in the north and spread more to the south. The park has stated that the fire is more prevalent in the northern and eastern regions.
Nain Kami of Thakurbaba-1 Dumreni said that the fire is affecting his health.
Senior Chief Conservation Officer of the park, Ashok Ram, said that more than 20 percent of the park's area is covered in fire. The fire brigade of Thakurbaba Municipality is controlling the fire in places including the West Mahendra Highway. The lack of transportation facilities in the remote Chure area has posed a problem in controlling the fire. The Nepali Army, employees, locals and the fire brigade of Thakurbaba Municipality deployed for park security have been mobilized.
