Violence Erupts in PoJK Election Protests

Violence Erupts in PoJK Election Protests

There were big protests in a place called Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir during their elections.

Sadly, 17-19 people died, and many got hurt when Pakistani Rangers shot at the protesters.

Most of the people who died have been identified, but one or two people couldn't be because they didn't have any ID.

One of the people who died was the brother of a local leader named Sardar Umar Nazir.

The protesters are upset about the elections and the government's policies, while the Pakistani Rangers say they were just trying to keep order.

The protests have been going on for weeks, and there have been many clashes between the protesters and the security forces.
