TNI Bureau: While the Odisha Government has deployed heavy resources to contain the forest fire in Similipal, volunteers of the ruling BJD too stepped in, responding to the call of party’s Organisational Secretary Pranab Prakash Das.
The BJD workers, including the Biju Yuva Janata Dal and Biju Chhatra Janata Dal volunteers have reached the fire spots and started helping douse the fire.
BJD has asked all its workers in Mayurbhanj and nearby areas to immediately rush to all sites where fire is still razing and help contain the flames. Several Senior leaders may also visit Mayurbhanj to lend their support.
