Randeep called out the unverified information doing rounds and tweeted, “Forest fires are a natural phenomenon that rejuvenates the forest & they happen every year..as per my research, this year #forestfires have been relatively low in #Uttarakhand so far..pls don’t compare them to Australia & the Amazon & spread panic

#PrayForUttarakhand #FakeNews”. He also compared the forest fire statistics of 2019 and 2020 to reiterate the fact.
