This should be noted that a fire that erupted in the forests of the Margalla Hills on May 29 couldn’t be brought under control after three days of efforts by firefighters.

Capital Development Authority, Environment and Emergency Wing had approached the National Disaster Management Authority to seek help of Pakistan army to extinguish the wildfire.

Sources told ARY News that the NDMA had already sought assistance of the military to help extinguish the fire as fire tenders couldn’t reach certain spots.
