May 31, 2024

Fire has broken out in the Angori forest of Murree, rapidly spreading to neighboring areas and causing extensive damage. The blaze has already engulfed an area spanning approximately two kilometers, authorities report. Forest department employees, alongside local residents, are actively working to bring the fire under control. Despite their efforts, strong winds are complicating the situation, making it challenging to contain the flames. This incident follows closely on the heels of another devastating fire in the forests of Soon valley, Punjab, just two days ago. The recurring fires, exacerbated by strong winds, highlight the ongoing struggle to manage and mitigate such disasters in the region. As the fire continues to rage, the focus remains on preventing further spread and protecting the surrounding areas. The local community and authorities are on high alert, working tirelessly to manage the situation and minimize damage.
