Activist Senge Sering Critiques Pakistan's Disaster Response in Gilgit-Baltistan
Activist Senge Sering, Director of the Institute for Gilgit-Baltistan Studies, criticised Pakistan's disaster response in Pakistan-occupied Gilgit-Baltistan (PoGB), citing poor governance, economic instability, and political unrest as factors increasing the region's vulnerability to climate-related disasters. He highlighted recent flash floods and landslides disrupting key routes and causing losses. Sering also alleged that military crackdowns in several regions diverted attention from governance and development, and criticised the Gilgit Assembly's budget approval as showing a lack of interest in the area.
