A wildfire has reignited in Islamabad’s Margalla Hills, prompting an urgent response from the Capital Development Authority and district administration teams. Over seventy firefighters rushed to the scene to battle the flames that had initially been brought under control earlier in the day but flared up again due to dry weather and strong winds.
Officials from the Islamabad Capital Territory confirmed that emergency crews, supported by local volunteers and park staff, are working tirelessly to contain the fire within the ecologically sensitive Margalla Hills National Park. Water tankers, fire extinguishers, and manual tools are being deployed to prevent the blaze from spreading further.
Authorities continue to monitor the situation closely while investigating the fire’s cause. Early indications point to human activity or the prevailing dry conditions as possible triggers. Officials have urged visitors to avoid lighting fires and to refrain from leaving behind any materials that could spark or fuel wildfires.
