Educational institutions and government offices across Gilgit-Baltistan were reopened on Monday after three-day mourning and protests over Kohistan tragedy.
According to details, due to fear of possible lawlessness and violence in response to killing of 18 members of Shiite community in Kohistan on Feb 28, the provincial administration closed all the government offices and educational institutions across GB for three days.
During past three to four days, the entire GB remained in the grip of mourning and protests. Routine activities remained suspended as people preferred staying indoors besides the business and trade activities also remained stalled.
Though the institutions were reopened on Monday after row of mourning and protests but attendance of staff and students in schools remained very low.
Curfew imposed after firing on Gilgit-Sharot Anjuman Imamia rally was also lifted keeping in view the problems faced by the people.
