At least 85 forest fires are currently burning in Uttarakhand, destroying 165 acres of land within the last 24 to 48 hours. The state, which has 71% forest cover, has requested assistance from the Centre. The Indian Air Force has conducted multiple sorties to spray water on the fires. Considering this situation, what should be the most appropriate course of action for the State Government to effectively manage and prevent forest fires in the future?

Options

All the trees should be cut down and the area should be converted into plain land to prevent future fire issues.

The State Government should collaborate with van panchayats and local communities to control forest fires and establish fire control rooms and fire stations at tehsil and block levels.

The only effective method is involving local people to ensure fires are not man-made and mobilizing enough manpower to fight fires when they occur.
