Updated:6 years, 2 months ago

Gilgit(PoK), Apr 21 (ANI): The cooperative society of Gilgit Baltistan has asked the government of Pakistan to sanction Rs. 10,000 crores to make for the economic losses people have suffering due to the pandemic COVID-19.Meer Nawaz Khan, the President of the society said the region must be given a significant amount to meet its needs. The members also accused the government of making extravagant expenditures from the exchequer in order to keep up with their own luxurious lifestyles. These accusations came after the local leaders booked all rooms of 52 hotels for just 52 patients. This comes at a time when the region has an acute shortage of testing kits and PPE suits. The local administration which works at the suggestions and commands of Islamabad has been exploiting the public money for years. ‘While all the resources have been indiscriminately exploited over the years, they are not sparing even a health crisis of Covis-19 magnitude. In fact, they see it as an opportunity to plunder even more.
