The student's primary demand is the construction of tunnels to provide a safer passage along the Shahra-e-Baltistan, a crucial highway connecting Gilgit and Skardu. The road, known for its treacherous terrain and inadequate safety measures, has been the site of frequent fatal accidents.
The Baltistan Students Federation is set to launch a protest campaign titled "Build Tunnels, Save Lives", aimed at advocating for the construction of tunnels along Jaglot-Skardu Road, as reported by the Pamir Times.
