National Green Tribunal:<\/strong>\u00a0While expressing concern about the large scale devastation being caused due to forest fires across the States of Uttaranchal and Himachal Pradesh, an application was filed before the Tribunal under Sections 14 & 15 of the National Green Tribunal Act, 2010.<\/p>\n

Central Government has also been a mute spectator in this ecological disaster of events. Despite this, the fact that sub- section (1) of Section 3 of the EP Act, 1986 confers powers on the Central Government to take all measures as it deems necessary for the purpose of protecting and improving the quality of the environment and preventing, controlling and abating environmental pollution.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Department should also carry out forest fire vulnerability mapping of the entire forest area and identify the hotspots of fire for setting up of the prevention and control system.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Labour for fire prevention activities should be sourced preferably from villages nearby the forests for an effective participation. They should also be provided with special incentives.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Forest Fire Alert System should be strengthened in collaboration with National Remote Sensing Agency (NSRA) and the Forest Survey of India.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Senior officer at the level of Chief Conservator of Forests should be designated to coordinate with other government agencies for accumulation of required resources.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Automated surveillance or watch towers\/ observation posts should be set up at strategic locations for timely interventions of fire incidences.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Mock drills need to be taken up for effective disaster risk reduction and fire control.<\/p>\n
