GULMI, April 11: A massive fire has broken out at a forest in Resunga, the famous pilgrimage and tourist site in Gulmi district.



The fire that started since Wednesday evening has not been brought under control until the morning today, although a team of soldiers from the Guru Gorakh Company of the Nepal Army and volunteers from different local organizations have been doing their best to put it out.[break]



Efforts at bringing the fire under control have been hampered by windy condition and the steep topography of the area, it is stated.



The Resunga forest is considered rich in biodiversity and there are many religious shrines around the place.
