Imagine spending months working hard, day and night, in your field & watching your crop grow. And then in a matter of minutes, it turns into ash. A large numbers of farmers lose their standing crop to farm fires. @AShukkla's report in @GaonConnectionE https://t.co/C5bRUFEH8c

In #India, the peak period for #SlumFires is in #summers between mid March to May. It is the time with high temperature, low humidity and some winds. Any spark quickly ignites waste material that is stocked in most #slums and the #fire spreads quickly. #SilentDisasters
