What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

The Pakistan Army completed the construction of a 66-kilometer road linking Astore and Skardu in Gilgit-Baltistan. This new track reduces travel time between the two districts to just a few hours. The road also restores direct access to the district headquarters for eight villages in the Phoota Khas Valley of Gultari.
