Of 30 fire incidents, 21 times level 1 fire was reported while one time, level three fire was reported. The area where the fire was set is close to Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP). Though it is private property, someone must be setting the fire to prevent the property from being a part of the jungle.
