Drivers and guides take liberty to approach animals due to their so called experience of ‘knowing’ the identified animals. However animal may get irritated sometime and breakdown of safari gypsy results into a death trap.

Airforce did the Bombi bucket firefighting operation by using Mi-7V helicopters. Do you know most of the forest fires are anthropogenic and it’s quite challenging to beat the fire when the temperature and wind speed are high.
