RASUWA: Massive fire spread across the Thangdorlake forest area at Yarsa VDC in Rasuwa district yesterday night.
According to locals, they have hardly slept a wink since the inferno began on Saturday midnight.
“Rural folks are concerned that the blaze might sweep through the human settlement,” said one local.
Mami Lama of Yarsa said they have already informed the government authorities at the headquarters about the fire.
Teacher Prabhakar Adhikary of Saramthali said the fire was advancing from Thangdorlake to Ladgugaun and the villagers stayed awake the whole night following the incident.
Meanwhile, another local Buti Tamang said he saw an enormous smoke haze in the Thadelake’s jungle at Dhunche VDC.
