JAAC Announces Monumental March Towards Muzaffarabad
The Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) has announced a big protest march towards Muzaffarabad in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
This protest is happening on July 26 and 27, 2026.
The leaders, Umar Nazir Kashmiri and Advocate Khawaja Mehran, are asking people to join in a peaceful march to demand better governance and economic justice.
They want to address issues like high inflation, electricity prices, and restrictions on rights.
The protest will start with a shutdown in Dadyal and then move towards Muzaffarabad.
The leaders are emphasizing that the protest should be peaceful and focused on systemic changes, not clashes with authorities.
JAAC announces a two-day protest movement culminating in a long march towards Muzaffarabad on July 26-27, 2026.
Leaders Umar Nazir Kashmiri and Advocate Khawaja Mehran call for a shutter-down strike in Dadyal and widespread public mobilization.
The protest aims to consolidate local sit-ins into a unified, peaceful march towards the regional capital.
Protesters demand structural accountability and economic justice, focusing on systemic governance failures and socio-economic marginalisation.
Authorities face renewed pressure to address public demands as protest convoys assemble across major routes.
