Forest fires in Similipal Biosphere in Mayurbhanj, Odisha is a matter of grave concern. The forest, home to rich wildlife is burning since a week & requires urgent intervention, attention & prayers!
Odisha Govt has issued SOP to regulate the fire.

Say not of beauty she is good,
Or aught but beautiful,
Or sleek to doves’ wings of the wood
Her wild wings of a gull
O, she is neither good nor bad,
But innocent and wild!
Enshrine her and she dies, who had
The hard heart of a child.
