Webdesk, TNI Siliguri, 29^th February, 2016: Thick fog like cover engulfed entire Siliguri and the adjoining areas. People smelt burnt leaf-like smell all around the city. However, according to some environmentalist that there is nothing to worry. There is a high possibility that the smog is due to the sudden forest fire at Sevok forest. Interestingly, this is the time when small forest fire happens because of the dried leaves all around. However, engulfing of the city didn’t happen in recent years. Some people felt burning sensation in their eyes due to the smog.
