Two young girls tragically lost their lives when a wall collapsed in the Pedan area of Jaglot town of Pakistan-occupied Gilgit Baltistan due to heavy rain and an earthquake that jolted the region recently.
Imran Mir, President of the Muslim League N Youth Wing for Gilgit Division, has raised serious concerns over the ongoing electricity crisis in the town of Jaglot in Pakistan-occupied Gilgit Baltistan(PoGB).
Protests erupted in Hunza in Pakistan occupied Gilgit Baltistan as local residents rejected a proposal from the government to connect the region's power supply to the Jaglot Guru power station.
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.
The construction of this bridge began two years ago but was abruptly halted, leaving it unusable due to the lack of a connecting road. Despite being incomplete, locals have been forced to use it for transit.
The victims of those floods have still not received any compensation or houses from the PoGB administration. One of the victims who had lost his house in the 2022 floods stated, "I was here when the floods came. And I saw it from my own eyes when the water destroyed our homes."
