Explained: What Is Behind The Unrest In PoK? What Is Fuelling The Protests? | India Today News

The recent protests in Pakistan occupied Kashmir or PoK escalated into violence resulting in the death of a police officer and injuries to over 100 protestors.
The violence erupted after approximately 70 members of the Joint Awami Action Committee, an organisation of traders in the region, were arrested while they were protesting the rising costs of food, fuel, and utilities there. A general strike brought Muzaffarabad, the capital and largest city of POK, to a standstill for 4 days, as shops, businesses, and public transport shut down. On Sunday, paramilitary forces were called in to secure government buildings, including the legislative assembly and the courts.
