GILGIT, Dec 31: Speaker Gilgit-Baltistan Legislative Assembly (GBLA) Wazir Baig has urged people to visit government offices without any hesitation for resolution of their problems as “officials are public servants not rulers”.
Addressing a gathering on environment, organised by Gojal Rural Support Organisation, he said “conspiracies are afloat to steal treasures underneath the surface of Gilgit-Baltistan as the black mountains are full of natural resources”.
Speaker Baig said that development was a joint venture of private and public sectors. He said that there were numerous problems which needed to be resolved, asking people to help the government in this regard.
The GBLA speaker said there would be investment of billons in Hunza “but such developments may raise environment issues and society could play its role in keeping the environment clean”. He said he was aware of the garbage left on mountaintops by expedition teams. Comprehensive strategy would be worked out to tackle environment issues. www.dawn.com/wps/wcm/connect/dawn-content-library/dawn/the-newspaper/national/gbla-to-legislate-on-environment-issues%2C-says-speaker-110
