Nearly one-third of the Dzükou Valley is estimated to have been affected by a wildfire that broke out on the 26th. More than 150 personnel from multiple agencies have been deployed, including police, disaster response teams, forest and fire services, and volunteers from the Southern Angami Youth Organisation. The Indian Air Force is assisting with aerial firefighting operations.

Authorities are relying on Indian Air Force helicopters to tackle flames in inaccessible areas. The valley has seen wildfire incidents in the past, often linked to negligence by visitors. The deputy commissioner said the southern part of Dzükou has largely been contained, but active flames are still visible near Mount Tempfü, and efforts to douse the fire are ongoing.

The SAYO president said no injuries or casualties have been reported so far. He added that those found responsible for causing wildfires will face penalties based on the extent of damage, with fines starting at 5,000 rupees. The Nagaland government is considering issuing a formal notification on the maintenance and management of the Dzükou Valley in consultation with SAYO.
