Protests over high electricity tariffs and reduced flour subsidies have led to widespread disruptions and violence in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, centered primarily around the regional capital of Muzaffarabad. Demonstrations organized by local rights coalitions escalated into clashes with police and security forces, leaving several people dead and dozens injured. The unrest has caused extensive market shutdowns, transport disruptions, and communication blackouts as authorities attempt to restore order and negotiate economic concessions with community leaders.
- Civil society groups organized mass demonstrations across the region to demand reductions in energy bills and subsidized prices for essential commodities like wheat flour.
- Clashes between security forces and demonstrators resulted in casualties on both sides, including fatalities among civilian protesters and law enforcement officers.
- Authorities deployed paramilitary forces, used tear gas to disperse crowds, and temporarily suspended mobile internet services in key affected areas.
- Widespread strikes shuttered businesses, commercial markets, and public transport networks across several towns and cities.
- Government officials held emergency negotiations to address the public’s economic grievances and restore stability to the territory.

Pakistan will be very often under water just like Bangladesh soon due to industry-made climate warming. The partition of India in 1947 was yet another very bad British project. Pakistan and Bangladesh are now paying with their lives this British recklessness.
