Bandipur receives first rainfall of the year

March 5, 2017

Bandipur forests, which witnessed massive loss of vegetation in the recent forest fires, received first rainfall of the year yesterday, much to the delight of the Forest Department, which had to battle a series of forest fires in recent days.

The rainfall also brought down the soaring temperature in the forest region. Mudumalai and Masinagudi forests in Tamil Nadu have been  receiving heavy rains since yesterday afternoon.

Following the rains, cloudy weather persisted in the entire Bandipur Forest area including Moolehole Forest range, which was the worst hit by forest fires.

Yesterday’s showers have partly filled up the dry water bodies in the forests, which may be just about enough for drinking water needs of animals.

Forest Officials believe that yesterday’s showers may bring forest fires under control and more rains in the coming days may help in partly regaining the lost vegetation.
