In the hills of the famous Sajjangarh Sanctuary of Udaipur, a fire occurred once again on Sunday evening, causing chaos in the area. The flames were seen rising from the hills and the thick smoke spread throughout the region. However, in time, the fire was controlled by the promptness of the administration and the forest department, which averted a major crisis.

As soon as the information was received, the teams of the forest department reached the spot and with the help of the fire brigade, the work of extinguishing the fire was started.
Sajjangarh Sanctuary, also known as the monsoon palace, is a very important area not only in terms of environmentally but also in terms of biodiversity. There is a residence of many rare flora and wildlife here. In such a situation, the incidents of fire not only harm the forest area, but also threatens the lives of wildlife.
Forest department officials said that the cause of the fire is being investigated. According to preliminary estimates, the fire may spread due to dry grass and strong heat, but human negligence cannot be ruled out. “If the fire was not controlled in time, it could have taken the form of great destruction.
