BANDIPORA—In a bold call for improved regional connectivity, former Member of the Legislative Assembly and senior Congress leader Nizamuddin Bhat has urged the reopening of traditional routes to Gilgit-Baltistan.

In an exclusive interview with Presspact, Bhat emphasized the importance of fostering better relations with neighboring countries, particularly Pakistan. “We must acknowledge the need for improved ties and economic cooperation,” he stated, underscoring that enhanced connectivity could pave the way for mutual benefits in trade and tourism.

As election season intensifies, Bhat’s remarks resonate with a growing sentiment among local leaders advocating for broader regional collaboration.
