The once relatively peaceful region of Pakistan-Administered Kashmir, also known as Azad Jammu Kashmir (AJK), was recently engulfed in unrest. The catalyst for this turmoil was the skyrocketing prices of essential goods such as wheat flour, fuel, and electricity. The Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) has been at the forefront of these protests demanding subsidized flour and electricity to alleviate the economic strain on the population.
