Himalaya October 23,2017: I appeal to all people to avoid going to forest areas and not to leave burning fires anywhere inthe forests, for God's sake .. as the forests are dry today and easily catch fire. I also request the administration to find out who is involved in these fires and take strict and immediate action against whoever is found guilty under the law.
