Itanagar: The forest of Kurung Kumi district at Chambang in Arunachal Pradesh has been facing a massive inferno for past few days. The fire has engulphed the entire forest and created panic among people in the area as they are discussing of having volcano instead of fire.

 

 According to the Geological Survey of India (GSI), there are only three active volcanoes in the country and they all located in Anadaman & Nicobar Island which is too far from Arunachal Pradesh as the authority has also denied of having any such reports.

 

Similar incident of fire occurred erstwhile in the region but the facts were against of having any volcano. The fire has perturbed the Member of Parliament, Sanjay Takam, who asked the Chief Minister Doorjee Khandu to enquire the incident and take necessary  initiative in this regard.
