GILGIT: The people of Ghizer demonstrated against what they called leaving out the district in the multibillion rupees package announced by Prime Minister Imran Khan for Gilgit-Baltistan during his visit to the region on Friday.
The protesters blocked the main road in Gahkuch town, the district headquarters of Ghizer, and chanted slogans against Chief Minister Khalid Khurshid Khan for what they said discriminating against Ghizer in the financial package.
The protest call was given by Balawaristan National Front (Naji group) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s local chapter.
The protesters claimed that no single project had been announced in the package for the district, which was injustice with the people, and demanded equal share in the package.
