On November 6, a protest was held in Khurshidabad—considered the final tehsil (administrative subdivision) of the State of Jammu and Kashmir, located in the Haveli District—under the auspices of the Awami Action Committee. The protest was directed against the operation and drone strikes that took place in Rawalakot.
The protesters expressed concern over the action taken against the Awami Action Committee’s protest camps in Rawalakot and the resulting loss of life, raising slogans against the incident.
A heavy contingent of the Haveli police was present in the town during the protest, and security arrangements were put in place at various locations.
The situation had become tense following the action taken against the Awami Action Committee’s sit-in (dharna) in Rawalakot on November 5.
According to various sources, there were reports of casualties and injuries during the operation.
The protest in Khurshidabad is part of a broader wave of public reaction seen across other areas of the region following the incident in Rawalakot.
