Forest fires have been reported across Jammu and Kashmir, some of them apparently sparked by the cross border shelling. While the initial reports of forest fires were received from the outskirts of Srinagar a fortnight back, the situation took a alarming turn when incidents were reported from the dense woods of Baramulla,, Kupwara, Pulwama and Budgam districts in Kashmir and Doda, Rajouri and Poonch in Jammu.
