Islamabad: Fire again erupted on a vast area of Margalla Hills on Sunday afternoon. According to CDA sources, the fire broke out in Ratta Hoter area located in a difficult terrain which was approachable only by foot behind Bari Imam. He said dozens of personnel were busy to control fire manually but it could not be extinguished till the filing of this report. Fire engulfed small trees and bushes on acres of forest area. It may be pointed out here that less than three weeks back, it were Pakistan Army and Pakistan Navy that came into action to control fires which erupted at different locations on Margalla Hills.
