Chief Minister Dhami is constantly in touch with the officials regarding forest fire. He is constantly taking meetings and taking feedback on forest fires in the districts as well as issuing necessary guidelines to the officers and personnel. To control forest fires in Nainital and Pauri districts, water is being showered in the fire-affected areas from helicopters with the help of the army.

Last week also, the Chief Minister held a meeting of the officials through video conferencing and said bluntly that negligence in cases of forest fire will not be tolerated at all and action will be taken from top to bottom.

In this regard, today CM Dhami held a meeting regarding forest fire in the Secretariat and while fixing responsibility for negligence in forest fire control, he directed action against the concerned personnel.
