ISLAMABAD/ABBOTTABAD: A huge fire erupted on Tuesday in the forests of the picturesque tourist place Gulyat Chahan in Abbottabad in Pakistan, threatening the flora and fauna of the jungle and wildlife.
The fire has spread rapidly and it is feared that it could reach the human settlements dotted around the jungle.
The fire has gutted hundreds of precious trees and devoured several animals.
Despite the fact that the fire has been moving fast, no rescue efforts have been started so far by the authorities concerned.
Huge fire sweeps the previous months in Abbottabad
In the previous few months, a massive fire erupted in the jungle in the Kali area near Abbottabad, which quickly spread to a vast area due to strong wind.
The fire broke out in forests at 312 places in the province since May 1, and four people lost lives in the fire that engulfed a huge area after it erupted.
