The situation in Pakistan-administered Jammu and Kashmir has become extremely chaotic and horrific.
A complete curfew has been imposed in sensitive areas including the capital Muzaffarabad and Rawalakot and the Pakistani army has been deployed.
According to local sources, the forces have been given the authority to “shoot on sight”, after which the entire region is witnessing a scene of apocalypse.
According to local sources and eyewitnesses, the army carried out a horrific crackdown on the protest sit-in in front of Rawalakot Hospital last night, opening direct and indiscriminate fire, as a result of which the roads were bathed in blood.
Eyewitnesses claim that people present at the scene say that more than two dozen (24) unarmed protesters have been killed in the firing of the forces and piles of bodies were seen on the streets.
According to eyewitnesses, when a citizen tried to help an injured person or lift a body, sniper shooters and military personnel stationed on high-rise buildings would target and kill him, causing severe panic.
On the other hand, government sources claim that only 7 people, including 4 policemen, were killed in the clashes, however, public circles say that the government and the army are completely hiding the real death toll.
According to sources, the army has taken complete control of Rawalakot Hospital and no civilians or relatives of the injured are being allowed inside. Internet as well as mobile phone services have been completely blocked in the region.
Local residents allege that the aim of this complete digital blackout is to hide the facts from the world and erase evidence of the alleged military operation.
Local eyewitnesses are describing the situation in Rawalakot as extremely worrying and a “Kashmiri genocide”.
They say that even two people are shot dead on sight on the streets and roads. Due to this alleged brutal advance of the security forces, the most intense hatred and incitement is being found among the unarmed citizens and the workers of the Joint Public Action Committee against the Government of Pakistan and the local administration.
Due to the complete paralysis of the communication system, there are severe obstacles in obtaining the final number of deaths and details of damages from independent sources.
