Gilgit-Baltistan

Together with the so-called Azad Jammu and Kashmir (‘AJK’), these sections of the Kashmiri territory have been under Pakistan’s control since 1947. Gilgit Baltistan comprises 86 per cent of the total area of Pakistan occupied Kashmir.
Gilgit-Baltistan is a region that India considers as part of undivided Jammu and Kashmir but under current administration by Pakistan. The region has been a regular feature of India-Pakistan conflicts involving Kashmir.
