agree to end convoy system.
GILGIT: The travel woes of passengers will come to an end as the Gilgit-Baltistan and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa governments agreed to do away with the infamous convoy system on the Karakoram Highway. The system requires 50 to 100 vehicles to move in groups from G-B’s Diamer district till Besham in Shangla while being escorted by K-P law-enforcement agencies.
The decision to end the painful system, which has existed since 2012, was taken at a two-day apex committee meeting of G-B and K-P officials in Peshawar. Chief ministers of both the regions and K-P Governor Sardar Mehtab Ahmad Khan were among those present. K-P Corps Commander Hidayatur Rahman and other senior officials were also in attendance.
