A massive forest fire broke out near Tseminyu town this afternoon. There was no report of casualty but the fire has damaged large area of plantations and farmland. The forest fire was doused off before it reached the vicinity of the town.
Youths from Tseminyu village, T Zisunyu and town youth collectively volunteered and doused the fire.
Rengma Selo Zi (RSZ) President Kegwayhun Tep informed that the Fire & Emergency Services were also in the station but because of the size of the fire, they could not control the flames on time.
It was further informed that the Fire & Emergency services station is yet to be setup in Tseminyu.
On behalf of the citizens of Tseminyu, the RSZ appealed to the government and the Department of Fire & Emergency Services to set up the office at the earliest for the safety and protection of the environment and wellbeing of the citizens and their property.
