100 dead due to rains in Gilgit-Baltistan in PoK
Over 100 people have lost their lives as heavy rains in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan triggered several landslides. The region, which falls in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), has been cut off from the rest of the nation following the rains. The weekend downpour has also blocked the Karakoram Highway, which links Xinjiang in China to Gilgit-Baltistan.
