Tensions have escalated in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir amidst ongoing assembly elections, with security forces opening fire on unarmed citizens protesting for basic rights. The unrest has intensified following reports of rigged voting, low voter turnout in the initial polling phase, and widespread election irregularities. Demonstrators, organized under a joint civil action committee, are calling for self-rule and conducting a long march from Rawalakot towards Muzaffarabad. At least thirty-one civilians have been reported killed over forty-eight hours as security personnel deployed lethal force, including shooting inside a religious site in Mirpur.
Reports indicate severe casualties, police action entering homes, and an internet shutdown obscuring ground reality. Meanwhile, political statements from Islamabad have framed local demonstrators as hostile agents, rejecting negotiations despite growing public anger and allegations of foreign funding. As two more election phases remain, the region stays under heavy lockdown with rising casualties.
