The law and order situation has fully been restored in Chakawari and Islmgarh AJK after the coordinated operation of law enforcement agencies, dispersing and arresting the members of the banned JAAC.
According to police reports, In Islamgarh and Chakswari, groups of protesters had gathered at multiple locations. At five different points, the protesters were reportedly carrying stones, bottles, and various types of sticks/batons. Through continuous and effective police operations, these gatherings were dispersed and the situation has been fully brought under control.
Officials stated that during the operation, a total of 15 protesters were arrested, and two weapons were recovered from their possession.
It was further stated that the roads have now been fully restored for traffic, while an adequate police presence has been deployed in the area to prevent any possible regrouping and to maintain law and order.
Furthermore, AJK government had reinstated 177 previously withdrawn first information reports (FIRs) following a breakdown in talks with a public action committee, while also signaling a tougher stance on future negotiations, officials said on Thursday.
The government issued a formal notification confirming the restoration of the cases, which had been dropped months earlier as part of an agreement reached with the Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee.
Meanwhile, authorities said no further negotiations would be held with the committee.
They urged those involved to surrender their weapons and present themselves before law enforcement, signaling an escalation in enforcement measures.
A senior government statement said individuals should “lay down arms and submit to the law,” underscoring a stricter approach toward groups accused of challenging state authority.
