Chairman
Gilgit-Baltistan United Movement Manzoor Hussain Parwana has said closing the
doors of economic development on the people of Gilgit-Baltistan is tantamount to
their economic murder. He said the government of Pakistan should take immediate measures
to open the old trade routes from Skardu to Kargil, Ishkoman to Tajikistan and Astor to Srinagar.
He said
Karakoram Highway is the only route of economic
activity between China and Pakistan. The terrorists have safe
heavens near to this vital highway that is the reason the terrorist thrice hit
KKH within last 7 months and killed more than 60 passengers traveling on KKH.

due to the repeated terrorist attempt on KKH caused to remain closed the wheel
of economic activity in the whole region to a complete halt.
Gilgit-Baltistan
is cut off from the outside world due to the closure of the highway. Therefore,
the government should open all other routes connecting the region with the
neighboring countries.
