A shutter-down strike in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir turned violent, leaving one dead and over a dozen injured, as rival groups clashed amid a communications blackout.

Violent Clashes in PoK Amid Strikes Led by Communication Blackout

Protests in PoK Lead to Fatality; Clashes Intensify

A shutter-down strike in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir turned violent, leaving one dead and over a dozen injured, as rival groups clashed amid a communications blackout.

At least one person was killed and over a dozen others injured, including a policeman, in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), as the region observed a shutter-down and wheel-jam strike amid a communications blackout, according to a media report on Tuesday.
The strike, called by the Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee (JKJAAC) over the issue of its unfulfilled charter of demands, saw rival groups stage simultaneous protests. Both sides accused each other of fomenting violence during an otherwise peaceful demonstration.
Mobile and internet services have remained suspended in PoK since Sunday noon, and sources said the curbs could continue until Wednesday, the Dawn newspaper reported.
The casualties occurred around Neelum Bridge after midday on Monday, when a &lsquo;peace rally&rsquo; led by Muslim Conference leader Raja Saqib Majeed clashed with the JKJAAC protesters who were gathered there.
Witnesses claimed that participants of the peace rally fired upon JKJAAC demonstrators &ldquo;without any provocation&rdquo;.
A crockery shop owner died during treatment after being hit by a bullet during the demonstrations, the report said, quoting an official at the Combined Military Hospital.
Another shopkeeper, who was wounded by shrapnel, claimed that demonstrators had tried to make space to let Majeed&rsquo;s convoy pass, but said that members of his posse came out of their vehicles and attacked them.
According to another eyewitness, the peace rally was protected by police and paramilitary troops. Police lobbed tear-gas shells at JAC demonstrators and fired at them.
People at the hospital showed spent bullet casings, which they said they had collected from the ground while trying to rescue injured people.
The protest began two years ago to secure a regular and subsidised supply of flour and electricity in the region, but has now been joined by additional demands such as the reduction in privileges enjoyed by the Kashmiri elite, abolition of reserved assembly seats and free education and health facilities.
The JKJAAC alleges that the fresh protest is being held this time because the government has failed to fully implement the agreement reached two years ago.
The protestors put forward a 38-point charter of demands. Among the key demands are an end to the 12 reserved seats for refugees and the rollback of privileges enjoyed by the elite.
Other demands include construction of several road projects, relief in taxes, subsidy on flour and electricity, end of job quotas for refugees, reform in the judiciary and several other demands of local nature.
Later in the evening, hundreds of people gathered at Muzafarrabad&rsquo;s Lal Chowk, where JAC leaders including Shaukat Nawaz Mir delivered speeches.
Mir called on the crowd to reassemble at the same spot at 11 am on Tuesday for the next course of action.
All businesses and shops remained shuttered and street vendors were absent almost across PoK, while roads also remained deserted.
Reports also suggested that similar gatherings were staged in Rawalakot and Sudhnoti, while in Bhimber, a rally was led by Ehsanul Haq, the brother of the region's "prime minister" Chaudhry Anwarul Haq. Ehsanul is associated with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party of jailed former premier Imran Khan, according to the report.

Meanwhile, the bodies of two of those killed in the violence had been taken by their kin to the ground adjacent to Eidgah, where slogans were heard against the government and the civil armed forces.

Violent clashes in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir: All you need to know

Meanwhile, the bodies of two of those killed in the violence had been taken by their kin to the ground adjacent to Eidgah, where slogans were heard against the government and the civil armed forces.

At least three people were killed and six others injured when security forces opened fire on protesters who attacked paramilitary Rangers in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, which has been rocked by protests since May 10. Nearly 90 people have been injured in the violent clashes so far.
But what led to massive protests was that paramilitary forces along with the police were called in to tackle the situation. Here's a detailed report.&nbsp;
On May 10 (Friday), Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) gave the strike call after several of its leaders and activists were arrested by police in overnight raids in different parts of Muzaffarabad and Mirpur divisions as they tried to converge upon Pok"s capital to press the government to give in to their demands. The strike led to a confrontation between the security forces and demonstrators according to a local media report. As a result, the outfit declared a complete shutter-down and wheel-jam strike on May 10
It further added that the committee had last month announced that people from across the state would stage a long march towards Muzaffarabad on May 11 (Saturday).
As per a report by Dawn, the JAAC movement demanded that electricity should be provided to consumers following the production cost of hydro-power in the state. It was also protesting against high prices of wheat and inflated electricity bills.&nbsp;
Following clashes, businesses remained closed and normal life was affected during the crippling strike to protest against a police crackdown.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, additional paramilitary Rangers were called in to maintain law and order in the disputed region. However, they came under attack in the regional capital Muzaffarabad while moving out of the town, the Dawn newspaper reported.
The disputed region then witnessed clashes on May 11 (Saturday) between the police and activists of a rights movement, leaving at least one police officer dead and injuring over 100 people, mostly policemen.&nbsp;
Similar protests were reported in the region in August 2023.&nbsp;
On Monday, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif approved a Rs 23 billion subsidy for immediate release to the region after the negotiations between the protesters and the regional government ended in a deadlock.
After the subsidy was announced by the government, the movement leaders said they would decide about it after the issuance of notifications.
On Tuesday, the JAAC called off the ongoing protests as the government "accepted all the demands of the protesters", JAAC head Shaukat Nawaz Mir said, asking protesters to return to their homes and businesses.
Meanwhile, the bodies of two of those killed in the violence had been taken by their kin to the ground adjacent to Eidgah, where slogans were heard against the government and the civil armed forces.
