Suffering Growing Day By Day for People in Gilgit

Gilgit Baltistan, November 18, 2014: Gilgit Baltistan has become a shambled region in the hands of Pakistan. The growing unemployment and economic backwardness have kept the region in dark. Fake promises and the self governance ordinance of 2009 had made it clear that Pakistan is doing nothing for the region. The region of Gilgit Baltistan is in chaos. The non-state actors, who often incite people for violence in the region on the basis of different religion, rule the roost. The puppet administration also works hand-in-glove with them and often takes decisions in their favour. Nov 18, 2014
