Amid dry spell, officials warn people against moving into forest areas in Kashmir

In response to the prolonged dry spell in Kashmir, authorities have imposed a ban on unauthorized entry into forests and Wildlife Protected Areas.

The Wildlife Department issued a notice urging people to refrain from any activities in these areas due to the heightened risk of forest fires.

The ban specifically applies to locations such as Brane, Nishat Conservation Reserve, Dachigam National Park, Dara Conservation Reserve, Khrew/Khanmoh Conservation Reserve, Wangath Conservation Reserve, and Thajwas Wildlife Sanctuary.

Violators will face strict consequences under the Wildlife Protection Act, officials said.
