Yesterday, thick winds spread the flames, with helicopters being used to combat them and forest department officers working on the ground for emergency services.
"Today, the fire is under control yet it is raging at scattered places and can be controlled by the fire fighters on the ground. Therefore, the helicopters did not take off for the operation today," said Vijay Pal Singh, an officer with forest department.
The Army was also requested to help yesterday in providing assistance.
