Kohima/Imphal: The fire fighters, including the IAF and the NDRF, would continue their operation for another two days to fully douse the 12-day-long wildfire in the famous Dzukou Valley on Nagaland-Manipur, said officials.

Nagaland SDMA OSD Johnny Ruangmei said that the wildfire in the valley has been largely controlled with the combined efforts of the Indian Army, IAF, NDRF, paramilitary forces, State authorities, and hundreds of volunteers and locals. ''The dousing operation would continue for another 24 hours. Small fires might be there inside the deep jungle or at the bottom of the hillocks,'' said IAF spokesperson Wing Commander Ratnakar Singh.
