Nellore: A wildfire broke out in the Somashila forest area in Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh on Wednesday.
Officials stated that efforts to control the fire are currently in progress.
Visuals of the incident have emerged where it can be seen that a raging blaze engulfs the forest.
Experts suggest that the recent increase in forest fire incidents reported in southern India could be attributed to various factors, including high aridity, above average daytime temperatures, clear sky conditions, and calm winds during the early stages of the summer season.
