Gilgit Baltistan: People threaten indefinite protest if demands not met

Feb 07, 2023

Gilgit, Gilgit Baltistan, 07 February, 2023: - People in Gilgit Baltistan are struggling to survive the double whammy of indefinite delay in the flood-related rehabilitation work and an unprecedented inflation. While the people in the region are running short on everyday essentials including the wheat flour on one side, the government is yet to make adequate arrangements for those who were displaced due to the massive floods that hit the region last year. People say the government is not providing them with enough food support in these times, in fact has cut down on even the mandated quota.
