New Delhi: Nowadays we are very much influenced by social media. From posting reels to memes, social media has made its own space in our hearts.
Sometimes web just spread misinformation, other time it is the only source that helps us provide news instantly.
Most of the Asian states are witnessing heatwaves nowadays. And during this time, a Pakistani influencer Humaira Asghar shot a video using forest fire as a backdrop.
Humaira shared the video on TikTok with the caption “Fire erupts wherever I am.”
This tiktoker from Pakistan has set fire to the forest for 15 sec video.

Here are few SM reactions:
This is a disturbing & disastrous trend on Tik Tok! Young people desperate 4 followers are setting fire to our forests during this hot & dry season! In Australia it is lifetime imprisonment for those who start wildfires. We need to introduce similar legislation @WildlifeBoard pic.twitter.com/RGMXnbG9f1
