Itanagar, January 24: A massive wildfire broke out this morning in the river belt of Tawang Chu River, threatening Sagkyur village and nearby areas in Arunachal Pradesh’s Tawang district.

The fire, which erupted between 10:00 and 10:30 AM, quickly spread due to strong winds and dry conditions, posing a significant threat to the village and surrounding areas.

However, timely intervention by the Lungla administration, with the support of the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), Indian Army personnel, local police, and residents, successfully contained the fire near the village and residential buildings, preventing potential loss of lives and property.

Although the fire has been controlled near the village, it continues to burn in the jungle due to the challenging terrain. All agencies are on high alert to prevent further spread.

Incharge Additional Deputy Commissioner Ama Nungnu Mara and District Disaster Management Officer Genden Tsomu are leading the coordination efforts on-site. The administration has urged the public to stay vigilant and report any further developments or incidents to the authorities immediately.
