Jun 01, 2021

Gahkuch, Gilgit Baltistan, 01, June, 2021:- A number of specially-abled people gathered in the Gahkuch region of illegally occupied Gilgit Baltistan to protest against rampant corruption and illegitimate recruitments being done on seats reserved for them. They accused the authorities of exploiting the loopholes in the system to fill the quota for specially-abled by other categories. The 3% quota they said is never regarded and a number of government departments have not filled it for years. They said the local authorities, at the instructions of Islamabad, have even red-tapped or deliberately barricaded the government allowances they have been promised.
