TOBA TEK SINGH: Within weeks, a second fire erupted at block 1 of government’s forests late on Monday, 1.5 kilometres from Shorkot Cantonment.
Farmers of nearby villages said the fire probably started when a honey contractor’s men burnt sticks to keep away bees.
Some people said the wind storm caused the fire. Farmers said the fire reduced timber trees to ashes.
Forest Sub-Divisional Officer Fayaz Husain Baloch claimed there was no damage as fire was extinguished in rain.
