Answer: Forest fire season
Notes: The season between winter and monsoon, referred to as the ‘forest fire season’, is increasing in India due to climate change and scarce rainfall in the Himalayan regions. The forests of Uttarakhand have not stopped burning in the last six months. There were 470 incidents of fire in Uttarakhand’s forests between November 2020 and January 2021 against the previous year’s count of 39.
