Pakistani authorities shut down internet and mobile networks across Pakistan-occupied Kashmir after thousands of residents launched demonstrations against the government. The Jammu Kashmir Awami Action Committee organized the protests to demand better access to electricity and subsidized flour prices amid rising inflation. Officials deployed approximately 2,000 military personnel to contain the unrest, and security forces arrested multiple protest leaders.

Residents claim hydropower facilities such as Mangla Dam and Neelum-Jhelum generate substantial electricity, but the region experiences frequent power outages. Demonstrators want officials to renegotiate agreements for hydroelectric projects, and they seek elimination of benefits provided to government elites. The Pakistani establishment has not addressed local concerns despite previous negotiations.

Intelligence sources indicate authorities plan to suppress the movement through force rather than meet protester demands. The military faces simultaneous challenges in Balochistan where troops sustained significant casualties during operations against local populations.
