One Killed in JAAC-Police Clashes in AJK’s Poonch as Election Campaign Enters Final 15 Days
One person was killed and several injured in clashes between activists of the proscribed Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee and law enforcement on the road linking Arja and Rawalakot in Poonch district on July 12. Police were attempting to restore an abandoned post at Jindala Cross when JAAC activists, who had blockaded the road, resisted. The incident comes 15 days before the July 27 AJK Legislative Assembly election, which JAAC has threatened to disrupt and PTI is boycotting.
