Forest fire in my village but forest dept is not concerned

Pitbasu Bhoi from Gram Adhikar Manch in Pampapur village in Surguja district says that a forest fire has broken near his village. More than 10 members of their organization have got injured trying to fire fight but there is no trace of forest department and district authorities are also not concerned. He says this is the way the forest is getting finished. Last year also there was a fire and people from his organisation worked hard. They later heard that Govt had sent some money to reward them but the people who worked have got nothing. For more Mr Bhoi can be reached at 09630209956
