History Of Gilgit-Baltistan

History Of Gilgit-Baltistan 

The present Gilgit-Baltistan region became a separate administrative unit in 1970 called the "Northern Areas". It was formed from a coalition of the former Gilgit Agency, Baltistan District, and several smaller former states, mostly Hunza and Nagar. In 2009, it gained limited autonomy and was renamed Gilgit-Baltistan. However, scholars state that the real power lies not with the Chief Minister or the elected Assembly but with the Governor. The population of Gilgit-Baltistan wants to be integrated into Pakistan as a separate fifth province and opposes integration with Kashmir. The Pakistani government has rejected Gilgit-Baltistan's demand for integration with Pakistan, saying it would jeopardize its demands for a solution to the Kashmir issue in accordance with UN resolutions.
