As India continues lifting restrictions in most areas in the Kashmir valley, reports of intensifying protests and unrest in the Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) area have come in. One agitator was also injured during the protest when the police fired upon them, reports added.
According to sources, locals at several regions of PoK - including Tatta Pani, Rawalakot, Poonch, Hajira, and Tatrinote - staged a strong protest against the police and the atrocities and illegal occupation on part of the Pakistani army, adding that the protests were aimed at claiming independence for the region. Mobile services have been discontinued in the area, resulting in a communications blackout.
The police were reported to be beating up and firing upon the demonstrators, who had organised the protest in response to arrests made by the police last night. One person was reported to be injured in firing.
