Due to a severe heatwave in Islamabad, a fire erupts in the jungles of Margalla Hills on Sunday afternoon.
According to the 24News HD TV channel, the fire broke out near Daman-e-Koh and clouds of smoke are rising high from the hills.
Last month on April 10, the district administration of Islamabad has slapped a ban on a wide range of activities and items in Margalla Hills to curb forest fire, littering, and air pollution for two months.
During this period, BBQs and bonfires will be prohibited in the MHNP. 
Smoking, burning and littering of garbage/plastic, carrying flammable items such as lighters, charcoal, matchsticks, bottles of petrol/kerosene oil, and cutting off trees have also been banned in the MHNP.
Last year, Islamabad’s administration also enforced a ban on all sorts of recreational activities in MHNP to avoid forest fires in the protected area.
