Viewer discretion: Forest fire rescue operation in Tamil Nadu in Western Ghats

Описание: Viewer discretion advised.

After a major forest fire outbreak in the Western Ghats, Tamil Nadu, the state government's rescue operation starts.

At least nine trekkers were lost in a forest fire in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu, officials say.

Authorities say they have rescued 21 people from the Kurangini hills - a popular trekking destination - where the fire broke out on Sunday.

Many of those injured have suffered severe burns and are receiving treatment at a nearby state hospital.

The military was deployed to help with rescue efforts after the state government asked for assistance.

"It has been difficult to rescue people since the incident occurred in the night and there are landslides in the region," senior official Pallavi Baldev told reporters.
"But the medical team is rushing to provide first aid to those already rescued."
