PoK Protest: In Pakistan-occupied Kashmir ( PoK), events are unravelling at a tremendous rate as mass protests and unrest shake the area. Local businesses, shops, and markets have been forced to close down, leaving streets empty and locals terrified.
Rising Tensions Across PoK
PoK has been experiencing an increase in protests in recent days, driven by political instability, military crackdowns, and dissatisfaction among the people. The previously busy trade streets are empty, and many business owners have closed their establishments to prevent any damage during the turmoil.
Military Actions Increase Tensions
It is reported that the military forces led by Asim Munir have intensified their operations in the region and are accused of overreacting to protesters. This has been nothing short of fueling the fire, increasing the level of unrest among the populace, and driving the region into a critical state.
Economic Effect: Business and shop closures
As long as the commercial activities are stopped, it means that the local economy is suffering a severe blow. Small business owners and shopkeepers struggle to make a daily living, and the inconvenience of trade is confusing for both residents and traders. The current tension is not abating, and its impact on everyday life is becoming increasingly severe.
Public Fear and Uncertainty
Protest, military crackdown, and business closures have made residents live in fear. Others are locking in, avoiding social places, and preparing to endure more turmoil. Analysts warn that should the situation be allowed to keep rising, PoK might be crippled by dire political and social instability.
