Aug 03, 2021

Gilgit Baltistan, 03 Aug, 2021: - People in Gilgit-Baltistan are enraged…In these visuals captured by a local, they have gathered here in front of the Chief Secretary’s office to register their complaint of being neglected by authorities even when a natural disaster has struck them. Incessant torrential rains have flooded several parts of this Pakistan-occupied region. The situation has been aggravated by landslides and the subsequent rolling down of stones destroying the poorly paved roads. But instead of getting a rescue mission underway, they have turned a blind eye to the situation…leaving locals in a lurch.
