Coronavirus: People in Gilgit Baltistan demand to seal border with China

Gilgit Baltistan, 04 Feb, 2020: The growing epidemic of Coronavirus has rung alarm bells for countries across the world, including Pakistan occupied Gilgit Baltistan. The apathetic administration of Islamabad which has more or less behaved as a Chinese colony in past few years has once again expressed its loyalty to its masters by downplaying the severity of the virus. Two million people in the illegally occupied region of Gilgit Baltistan stand vulnerable to the deadly Chinese disease that has killed hundreds in China and several others across the globe but Islamabad is just not ready to seal the Khunjareb pass. People are out on the streets demanding an immediate shutdown.
