One thought on “Chitral beat Gilgit by a distance in Shandur Polo Tourney”
Gilgit is loosing badly to Chitral since last four consecutive years but it is still enjoying 21 PIA flights a week while Chitral is doing with only two flights a week. After this last defeat it becomes fair to withdraw some flights from Gilgit and allocate them to Chitral.
