  1. It is not time of emotions to get our rights, because we have lost the chances of emotions and knowledgeable decisions. Now we will face the problems and it will increase more in the coming years. tow kind of politics National and International is involved in this case, it is out of our reach now. we need a workable plan for future communication first. we must invite the representative of Gojal to Gulmit or at some other place and share with him the problems and its solutions.

  2. Agreed with Ustad Raza Muhammad, community participation and dialogue is very much important, personally I would suggest that we must be politically sound and strong.
