Residents of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (POK) are facing growing shortages of food, fuel and medicines as anti-government protests continue across the region. Local residents, truck drivers and opposition leaders have alleged that Pakistani authorities are restricting the movement of essential supplies to weaken the protest movement. Pakistan has denied imposing any blockade, saying supplies are continuing. The unrest began over a dispute involving reserved legislative seats and has led to widespread shutdowns, transport disruptions and clashes. Reports indicate thousands have joined protests, while rescue and relief efforts remain affected by the ongoing disruption to supply chains. (PC: India Today)
