GILGIT: Although snowfall in Gilgit-Baltistan brings respite and a sigh of relief to residents, enhancing the beauty of the majestic and pristine mountainous landscape, unfortunately, it also puts a freeze on daily life in the region.
The picture perfect snow-draped areas might be an attraction for tourists, but for local people, winter is a test of survival skills.
Residents of Gilgit-Baltistan brave sub-zero temperatures with no gas or electricity for heating, and only wood and coal available as fuel, which also must be managed frugally because all the roads are shut and supplies are limited.
Extreme weather has compelled residents to stay indoors. According to locals, the drop in temperature makes life harder for them. Even washing, bathing and cooking become a challenge with water frozen in pipes and limited fuel for heating. Communications remain suspended, with no letup in snowfall. The heaviest snowfall of the season so far was recorded in Astore Valley. Report By - Yatoow Muzic Khaplu
