Gilgit-Baltistan can contribute to Pakistan’s economy in terms of tourism and natural resources such as its fruits and specially precious mines in the mountains. Not a single representative is visionary to mobelize the mentioned resources which can change the future of generations, There is possibility to build electricity generation projects on running river water.
The people of GB are still deprived of basic human needs such as availability of water, electricity and appropriate roads in Gilgit city and all other valleys. The fund goes directly to the pockets of responsible people while ordinary man can only dream these political statements,
