The package envisaging development schemes in various sectors will usher in a new era of development in the region. This will not only address the problems of the area but also provide immense job opportunities to the youth. Addressing the meeting, the Prime Minister had said that Gilgit Baltistan has a lot of tourism potential and it should be utilised. He said that the development of Gilgit Baltistan is one of the top priorities of the government. The PM had also directed the GB chief minister to pay special attention to environmental protection and promotion of tourism in the region.
