The Indian Air Force has been deployed to combat the forest fires in the Garhwal division, specifically in the Pauri district of Uttarakhand. The operations involve the use of IAF helicopters, which have been actively collecting water from the Alaknanda River to douse the flames in the Doob Srikot forests. The helicopters, including the Mi17 V5 models, have utilized Bambi Bucket operations to spray over 4,500 liters of water on the fires. This coordinated effort is in response to the severe fires affecting the region, with the IAF taking a leading role in the firefighting efforts. The aircraft have reached the GVK helipad in Srinagar, as stated by Uttarakhand Chief Secretary Radha Raturi.
