The already impoverished region of GB is reeling with woes, crises upon crises. GB is now being stripped of a historic and decades-old stipulat­ed wheat subsidy right granted to it during the ‘70s by Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto on the basis of its dis­puted status. The Chief Minister of GB and the local government are bereft of any genuine authority or power. When it comes to GB, national political leaders only play into the gallery, presenting a glamorised and ro­manticised picture of GB to their audience, oblivious to its protract­ed woes and tribulations. We have no dearth of local, national, and even international vloggers and documentary makers to de­pict its natural beauty.
