Ganderbal  February 9 (PTK)  A massive forest fire broke out in the dense forests of Kawacherwon in the Sindh Range, Kangan, triggering concerns among locals and authorities. The fire, which started earlier today, is rapidly spreading due to dry conditions and strong winds.

Firefighting teams from the Forest Department, along with local volunteers and disaster response forces, have been deployed to contain the blaze. Officials are working tirelessly to prevent further damage to the region’s rich biodiversity.
