Protests Shut Down Markets in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir After Group Is Banned
The Hindu·Wednesday, 10 June 2026
Markets and streets in parts of Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir went deserted after the JAAC called a protest. The group had been staging demonstrations demanding subsidised flour and electricity before authorities banned it on June 5, 2026, citing public order and security concerns. The ban has not stopped the unrest.
