A large number of leaders and activists\u00a0addressed the rally, highlighting various issues faced by people of the region due to lack of appropriate representation in the elected assembly.

The prime minister of Pakistan is visiting Gilgit – Baltistan on 12th September, and it is being expected that formation of the Hunza – Nagar \"DSC03330\"<\/a>district will also be announced during this visit. There is a general feeling in Hunza that formation of the new district without increasing representation in the legislative assembly would be a futile and frustrating exercces, which could heat up public opinion in the region.<\/p>\n
