A wildfire erupted again at Margalla Hills National Park in Islamabad on Friday due to a severe heatwave.
The fire started near Kalenjar village and quickly spread across the Margalla Hills. Upon receiving the alert, CDA officials and fire brigade vehicles rushed to the scene to extinguish the blaze.
Citizens captured videos showing smoke billowing from the hills, expressing concerns for the wildlife.
Recently, two fires were reported in Chiran Di Gali and Saidpur area. It took around seven hours for firefighters and three helicopters from the defence authorities and Prime Minister's Office to control the flames.
However, the next day saw new fires at 15 different locations, requiring another eight hours of efforts to put out.
Margalla Hills National Park covers 12,605 hectares and falls under the jurisdiction of the Capital Development Authority (CDA) and the Islamabad Wildlife Management Board (IWMB).
