Protests in Pakistan-administered Kashmir turned violent following days of civil unrest driven by the rising cost of living. Demonstrators organized by civil rights groups took to the streets to demand subsidies on essential food items like wheat flour and a reduction in high electricity tariffs. Severe clashes between security forces and protesters resulted in multiple casualties, including both police officers and demonstrators. In response to the escalating unrest and widespread strike, the central government approved a financial relief package to lower prices and restore stability.
- Demonstrations were organized by the Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee to protest high inflation and soaring utility costs.
- Protesters demanded subsidized wheat flour and lower electricity tariffs reflecting local hydroelectric generation.
- Clashes between security forces and demonstrators resulted in at least four fatalities and numerous injuries.
- A region-wide strike led to widespread closures of shops, schools, and public transport across cities including Muzaffarabad.
- The Pakistani government approved an emergency relief package of 23 billion rupees to address the cost-of-living grievances.

Paskistan spelling 😂😂😂
BBC the English expert , globally published pakistan 🇵🇰 spelling as paskistan
Thanks for raising awareness on this topic. More than hundred peaceful protesters have been killed in Kashmir by fascist Pakistani regime. World should react before its too late!
If you really want people to be able to follow what you are describing. You need to include maps of the region with highligted areas that you are discussing. I do understand that this area is contested by India and Pakistan ongoing for an extended time ( years).
Pakistan is repeating bangladesh genocide this time on Kashmiris
But nobody talking about innocent civilians of POK 😢
Pakistan is a failed state, isn't it? 😢😮
Ironically Pakistan has named the area it occupies as ‘azad’, if truly ‘free’ then by definition this killing of Kashmiris is by foreign Pakistani military, This barbariyat, this Killing of civilians, protesting in their own country (if Azad Kashmir), just for exercising their democratic right, against their own government, is then interference and a war crime by Pakistan!
Pakistan administrative Kashmir ❌❌❌
Pakistan occupied Kashmir ✅✅✅
It's Azad kashmir, we fought a jihad against the evil Dogra raj, to be free, don't want to be part of India, we are Azad, just want proper Democratic system, Munir dictatorship is so ignorant, '

Azad Kashmir under Pakistan is burning in political turmoil and use of power by security forces on civilian protesters taking escalation. It might go to no point of return. It is time to use political way for controlling the situation going worsen.
Why BBC is not telling about terrorists being sent by Pakistan in Jammu and Kashmir? There is no insurgency in India.
