Turner’s first tweet generated quite a reaction throughout Pakistan.

The Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) administration had also swung into action and banned smoking, barbecues, setting garbage on fire or carrying flammable items such as matchsticks, lighters, charcoal and bottles of petrol or kerosene oil, prohibiting any activity or action that could cause forest fire in the Margalla Hills National Park.
