Ever since the illegal occupation of Gilgit-Baltistan by Pakistan, the people of the region have been facing difficulties. The people of Gilgit-Baltistan have never been granted the rights they deserve, as successive governments in Islamabad have continued to treat them unfairly.
The anger of locals in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir is rising against those sitting in Islamabad. People reeling under high prices of essential items are left with no other option but to express their outrage on the streets.
The people in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) are infuriated over their unending woes due to issues like high inflation, frequent load shedding, unemployment and other violations of human rights.
Residents blame government departments serving under Pakistan’s illegal regime in the region for host of issues such as load shedding, unavailability of safe drinking water and heavy taxation on wheat flour among several other concerns.
In the latest video he posted on social media, Choudhry disclosed that the people in PoK are grappling with high inflation, load shedding, food insecurity, and unreasonable tax imposition among several other concerns.
People in Pakistan have to face multifaceted chronic problems when it comes to power supply. Their suffering continues unabated in the winter and summer seasons.
The residents said that with each passing day, the duration of power load-shedding was being increased. They also alleged that the supply of electricity to several localities in the district was suspended.
Load-shedding, spanning 18 hours, has made it impossible for people to carry out their work in Balochistan, as per the news report. With the ongoing power outages in Balochistan, tailors have not been able to stitch clothes, while Ramzan is the most important month for them to earn money.
While talking with journalists in Karachi, Pakistan's Minister of State for Petroleum Musadik Malik said that the gas load-shedding would end during sehri and iftar. "We cannot provide gas 24 hours as our reserves have dropped," he added.
The impact of Pakistan's economic downfall is far-reaching and devastating. The situation for people in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), who were already grappling with a multi-faceted crisis, has worsened quickly.
They have been protesting for three days and said that the government was providing two hours of electricity to the residents of the Azam Warsak area in Birmal Tehsil.
