The spate of forest fires which erupted almost simultaneously all over the State were not due to any natural phenomenon but is a deliberate act of sabotage and the finger of suspicion points directly towards the real estate and land sharks lobby with tacit backing of some politicians who are also into this business. We have over the years seen high temperatures with the mercury touching record peaks and somehow by strange coincidence fires erupt simultaneously over wide areas in the State.
Some years back in Brazil fires were deliberately lit in the Amazon rainforest region by the ruling dispensation backed by the President Bolsonaro, where acres and acres of forest was destroyed to make way for a new township. What resulted was unprecedented drought and famine. With damage already done here the TCP/Forest minister should immediately freeze this burntout land from any sort of development by the land sharks, who are already in standby mode for poaching.
