QUETTA:Sardar Babar Khan Musakhail, Deputy Speaker, Balochistan Provincial Assembly has asked Chairman, National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), to provide facilities to extinguish forest fire in Dana Sir mountain of Balochistan province as the provincial government had no proper facilities to extinguish the fire at high altitude.

 

In a letter, the copy of which is available with PPI, Musakhail stated that owing to natural lightening, the upper mountainous surface site of Dana Sir caught fire, but now it had been expanded towards the area coming under district Sherani of Balochistan province and there was risk of further deforestation if the fire was not brought under control. Musakhail requested Chairman NDMA to provide facilities to extinguish the fire lit on Sana Sir mountain of Balochistan province.
