Flour Prices Soar In PoK After Pakistan Halts Supply Trucks Reported By, Edited By Last Updated: June 14, 2026, 22:57 IST Flour trucks from Pakistan to PoK reportedly halted, prices tripled, as Pakistan security forces allegedly fire on Rawalakot protesters, killing 3 amid ongoing unrest and blackout. Three people were killed and several others injured after Pakistan security forces allegedly opened fire on protesters during a pre-dawn operation in Rawalakot. The flour that was coming from Pakistan to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) has allegedly stopped and the trucks have been sent back. According to sources, obstacles are being created in the delivery of rations to PoK which has increased the price of flour, previously around Rs 1,100, reportedly to Rs 3,000.

This comes amid reports that three people were killed and several others injured after Pakistan security forces allegedly opened fire on protesters during a pre-dawn operation in Rawalakot. The crackdown took place at Eid Gah Ground during Fajr prayers, where members and supporters of the Awami Action Committee (AAC) had been holding a sit-in. According to the details, security personnel used direct firing, heavy shelling and extensive tear gas to disperse the gathering, triggering panic across the area. Several others were injured during the operation, though an official casualty count was not immediately available. Tensions remain high in the region, with the standoff between authorities and protesters now stretching into its eighth day without any breakthrough.

The latest violence comes amid a prolonged communication shutdown across parts of Pakistan-administered Kashmir. Mobile networks remain completely suspended, with the blackout entering its 12th consecutive day. The continuing restrictions have fuelled anxiety among residents and complicated access to information and emergency services. The Rawalakot operation comes amid unrest linked to the Joint Awami Action Committee, a movement seeking economic, governance and political reforms in Pakistan-administered Kashmir. The violence erupted after the Supreme Court of Pakistan-administered Kashmir ruled that 12 legislative seats reserved for Kashmiri refugees living in Pakistan were constitutionally protected and could not be abolished without a constitutional amendment.
