Gilgit Baltistan, Nov 15, 2016:- Winter is knocking at the door of gilgit-baltistan with thick snow, frozen rivers and temperatures as low as -15 degrees celsius. However, the region, surrounded by three mighty mountain ranges, is staring at a season of discontent amid a severe power shortage. The irony is that even after contributing hugely to the China Pakistan economic corridor (CPEC) power project, its share in the supply chain is negligible. repeated power outages render heating devices useless, leaving the residents at the mercy of the weather.
