July 31, 2024 (MLN): To enhance the tourism potential of Gilgit-Baltistan, the chief secretary of GB has proposed initiatives to digitize land records and expand airports.

These proposals aim to modernize GB’s infrastructure and capitalize on its natural beauty, further contributing to the region's economic development.

Minister for finance and revenue senator Muhammad Aurangzeb chaired a meeting of the committee on the issues of Gilgit-Baltistan on Wednesday, said a press release issued on the same day.

The meeting commenced with a detailed briefing by the chief secretary, who outlined the issues faced by the GB government.

Some of these issues were related to insufficient fund allocations and delays in PSDP projects which lead to employee related and other liabilities.

The chief secretary also advocated for solar power projects designed to address the region’s growing energy needs.

Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb expressed his appreciation for the well-thought-out proposals and underscored the importance of reforming GB's administrative and fiscal frameworks.

He emphasized that these reforms are vital for both the welfare of the local population and the stimulation of tourism.

The finance minister acknowledged the concerns of GB government and reiterated the government's commitment to support GB's development for overall economic growth.
