Exploration of mines and minerals from Gilgit-Baltistan to improve GDP

Pakistan is suffering from economic crisis due to lack of country and its wider benefit oriented will among the pseudo-political factions and the central governments continuously impacted and lead the country over the last more than 60 years consecutively. Locating in the most suitable geopolitical and natural zone, the country has unlimited natural resources which could have been explored scientifically and managed effectively to making a stronger, healthier, prosperous and technologically advanced country. Vested interest oriented myopic so call political leadership misused their powers influencing all state organizations leaving them behind in all walks of life. People remind unskilled, uneducated and ignorant. An Islamic country having unlimited natural resources carries almost highest number of baggers on the roads.

Similarly, Gilgit-Baltistan having huge deposits of metals, non-metals, precious, semi-precious and industrial minerals suffers from poor communication and energy networks. To bring people out of poverty requires seriousness in the central government and pseudo provincial government of Gilgit-Baltistan to frame investor friendly policies which encourage investors and safeguard rights of local populations at the same time. Conflicting situations arising out of lack of meritorious role of mining and mineral department leads to frustration among the investors and infuses sense of insecurity among the communities owning actual these mines.

This is high time to take serious actions starting from policy level and placing working mechanisms to promote scientific exploration of mines and minerals to impact poverty level and improving communication and energy networks. Such a wise exploration will not only improve quality of lives of the communities but also the GDP of the country in a very short period of time. People in the area want to work with the investors but lack of any efficient policy framework and an acceptable working mechanism these huge deposits of metals, non-metals, precious, semi-precious and industrial minerals still requires exploration.
