Tensions and state oppression have reached a peak in various parts of Pakistan-administered Jammu and Kashmir. While the public is actively protesting to secure their rights, there are reports of the use of force, sieges, and the occupation of private homes by security forces.
In Panjeera, public protests and a sit-in (dharna) continue with full intensity for the sixth consecutive day. According to reports, security forces are engaging in heavy firing upon peaceful protesters; however, the public remains steadfast in their demands.
Sources indicate that security forces may soon launch a major operation to clear blocked routes, a prospect that has further deepened the atmosphere of tension and fear in the area.
Meanwhile, in the residential areas surrounding the Matiyalmeera bus terminal, a large contingent of security forces has reportedly taken up positions. The deployment of armored vehicles, heavy machine guns, and snipers—both inside and around private homes—has triggered widespread panic. Consequently, local residents have been forced to abandon their homes, leaving ordinary citizens to endure a state of severe distress and destitution.
Despite these state tactics and restrictions, the Jammu and Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee (JKJAAC) has successfully established a venue for a historic gathering in the village of Bandhor, located in Tatta Pani (Kotli District). The movement’s leadership is present at the site, and a historic event, marked by great enthusiasm, is currently underway. A massive crowd is present at the venue, and detailed videos regarding this will also be released soon.
