Violent protests erupted in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), specifically in Muzaffarabad, as demonstrators clashed with police over demands for tax-free electricity from the Mangla Dam and subsidies on wheat flour. The protests, called by the Awami Action Committee, turned violent, leading to the death of a policeman and injuries to over 100 people. The situation escalated with protesters throwing rocks at police, resulting in a brutal crackdown. Amidst the unrest, the Prime Minister of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) invited protesters for dialogue and the government reportedly accepted all demands following the clashes. Additionally, in Rawalakot, tensions flared after posters demanding a merger with India appeared, and historical conflicts between India and Pakistan over the Kashmir region were noted.
