Tensions remain high in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) after 9 people were killed during recent protests, with the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) pressing ahead with its planned march to Muzaffarabad. Pakistani authorities have deployed around 4,000 Rangers and tightened security across the region to prevent demonstrators from reaching the capital. Checkpoints have been set up and movement has been restricted in several areas. JAAC has accused the government of suppressing peaceful protests, while officials say the security measures are aimed at maintaining law and order. The planned march is expected to further test the volatile situation. (PC: India Today)
