PoGB, 27 April 2026: - Residents in Ghizer District of Pakistan-occupied Gilgit Baltistan face severe hardship as prolonged road closures have continued to disrupt daily life. Patients can’t reach proper healthcare, while local centres lack even basic medicines, turning emergencies critical. The crisis highlights governance failures, with authorities reacting only after protests. Residents say delays and inaction have made such disruptions a recurring issue.
