In February 2019, major forest fires broke out in numerous places across the Bandipur National Park in Karnataka state in India. The National Remote Sensing Centre of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) carried out an assessment of the total area affected by the fire. On 25 February 2019, it estimated the extent of burnt area to be about 10,920 acres in the last five days from 21 February 2019.[2][3][4]
Though the major fire was brought under control by 24 February 2019, some areas continued to burn. The fire also spread to Mudumalai National Park in Tamil Nadu, causing damage to around 40 acres. The Tamil Nadu forest department took action to ensure that it did not spread further.[3][5]
