5000 year old University Sharda ruins, forts, Korans and pandas, Mongols and Mughal passages, charming gardens, forests and trails, waterfalls, forts, archeological treasures. Millions of tourists are arriving in Kashmir from within the country. Now the government has opened Azad Kashmir to tourists like any other tourist destination in the country. This important sector is associated with the employment of more than half a million people of the independent state who were unemployed for five months. Kashmir is undoubtedly a paradise in the world. In the upper areas, even in June, the atmosphere and weather feel like January. One of the most beautiful part of Kashmir is under the control of India. The second part is Azad Kashmir and the third part is Gilgit-Baltistan. Fourth, under Chinese control. These are all masterpieces of beauty. In the last era of PPP in Azad Kashmir, attention was paid to bring the state closer to Gilgit-Baltistan. Which everyone welcomed. Everyone wants to try to establish friendly relations with the people of Gilgit-Baltistan. Former Prime Minister Mian Nawaz Sharif has announced construction of Neelam Expressway and Shunthar Tunnel, an important highway connecting Azad Kashmir with Gilgit-Baltistan and China. It is not known what happened with these projects. Immediate work did not start. Construction of Wadi Lipa tunnel was also necessary. But even this was not constructed. If the Imran Khan government took into account the need to include Azad Kashmir in the C-Pack, took an interest in the completion of important projects and kept development separate from politics, It will lead to the development of the region. In the time of Dogra Maharajas, ancient routes connected Kashmir with Central Asia, Iran and China. If the governments of Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Kashmir pay special attention to the construction and development of the region together with Islamabad, then the fate here will change.
