The disruption began on May 12 in response to a protest by the Joint Action Committee, which started on May 11 and saw significant public participation.

Although the internet was briefly restored on May 13 after the government agreed to the protesters’ demands, it was suspended again.

The Joint Action Committee ended the strike on Tuesday after their demands were met, bringing life back to normal in the region. Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif visited the AJK capital today to show solidarity with the Kashmiri people.
