IAF pours 1.82 lakh litres water to control Mount Abu fire
Two Indian Air Force choppers poured 1,82,000 litres of water to control Mount Abu's wildfire, which broke out in the forest on Friday. The helicopters conducted 73 sorties and ferried water from Nakki Lake to spray over the fire-ravaged areas of the Aravali hills. "Bamboo trees sometimes cause wildfire as locals ignite the fire to fetch honey," said an official.
