<h1>Protest in Gilgit-Baltistan Blocks Karakoram Highway, Stranding 700 Trucks and Disrupting Trade and Tourism.</h1> Hundreds of trucks are stranded at the Pak-China border as a protest against power outages in Gilgit-Baltistan continues to block the Karakoram Highway. Organized by the Hunza Awami Action Committee and the All Parties Traders Association, the protest has halted trade for four days, affecting 700 trucks at the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor dry port. Despite government assurances to improve electricity supply, protesters remain unconvinced, citing unfulfilled past promises. The situation has disrupted tourism and trade, with machinery and tourists unable to reach their destinations. The region faces power shortages due to decreased water flow affecting hydropower stations.
