Chikkamagaluru, Mar 6: Even before the state could recover from the loss of huge tracts of lush green forest areas located within the limits of Bandipur sanctuary, comes the shocking news that forest fire has consumed over 200 acres of forest in Kudremukh sanctuary.
Fire was first sighted at Bhagawathi Hill on Monday. It has since been extinguished. However, destruction of over 200 acres of forest could not be averted.
As there is suspicion that this could be the handiwork of miscreants, investigation is being conducted into the incident.
