Uttarakhand faces a severe forest fire crisis with 398 man-made fires since November 2023. The state government informs the Supreme Court that 0.1% of wildlife cover was affected. The SC expresses concern and emphasizes the need for effective measures beyond cloud seeding and rain dependence. The Central Empowered Committee will review reports on the forest fires. Heavy rain and cloud bursts provide some relief but challenges persist in containing the fires.
