Foresters are using satellite images to locate forest fires and douse them before they can cause major damage to flora and fauna, officials said on Wednesday, a day after two seven-member teams were constituted to monitor the Mahilong area of Angara block in Ranchi district.
“Forest rangers have constituted teams at their level to locate and douse forest fires. We are also using satellite images to identify areas which are affected by forest fires,” said Ranchi district forest officer Ashok Dubey, adding that the special teams are sent to the locations as soon as the department gets an alert through satellite.
