A raging wildfire in the Margalla Hills, which has been burning for over four hours, has intensified due to strong winds, making firefighting efforts increasingly challenging.
The fire, initially reported in the Sidpur Village Range of the Margalla Hills, has spread rapidly, fueled by gusty conditions. The flames are proving difficult to control, prompting urgent calls for additional resources.
Despite the relentless efforts of the firefighters, the combination of rugged terrain and high winds is hampering their progress. The flames continue to threaten the surrounding areas, and there is a growing concern for the safety of nearby residents and wildlife.
The local authorities are urging residents to remain vigilant and follow any evacuation orders if issued. The fire’s unpredictability under current weather conditions poses a significant risk, and the priority remains to safeguard human lives and minimize environmental damage.
