Gultari valley is strategically important for Pakistan. But the area has been neglected by the government. Its population is around 10,000 . but, due to nonexistence of hospitals, schools and other basic needs of life, majority of people have migrated to cities like Skardu, Gilgit, Pindi or Karachi. The region is most coldest part of the country.

Developmental issues

No Health facilities for the residents of hilly and coldest area residents. only two middle schools for children of 17 villages. no proper transportation service, people have to go miles to bring woods for fuel.[2]

gollark: I've noticed that requests for images *linked* in a Discord channel apparently go *through* Discord, which is a bit worrying and probably how the thing detects that.

gollark: I've looked at the image, and it doesn't seem to do anything special if viewed. I initially thought it was an animated PNG or something, but it shows as a normal PNG to everything.
gollark: And I'm using the browser version of Discord, in Firefox, as always, sooo...
gollark: What's Nobody's image meant to do anyway? I noticed it when looking at this channel now, and it just says "open in your browser".
