——–Congrats. to the AKHBP Team on this happy occasion. What the JAMAT of Gilgit-Baltistan. contributed is a long long history and they have their own contributions in winning of this award.
——–How we are planning for the future to win such awards is a big question mark-this actually sowed some one else and we are the achiever. Be above all the personal interests ud make the future GREEN. Being above caste, creed, colour and geographical boundaries ud be made the ground clear for such AWARDS.
