Authorities have decided to deploy additional civil armed forces and police personnel in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) in view of the prevailing law and order situation and a strike call announced by the Kashmir Joint Action Committee.
According to official sources, 1,000 personnel of the Punjab Rangers and 2,000 personnel of the Frontier Constabulary (FC) will be sent to Azad Kashmir to assist local authorities in maintaining law and order.
In addition, 2,000 personnel of Islamabad Police and 1,000 personnel of Sindh Police will also be deployed in the region.
The decision comes ahead of a strike call issued by the Kashmir Joint Action Committee, prompting authorities to strengthen security arrangements across the territory.
Sources said the additional force will support local law enforcement agencies in ensuring public safety and maintaining order during the protest activities.
Officials have not disclosed the duration of the deployment, but security arrangements are expected to remain in place until the situation stabilises.
The Kashmir Joint Action Committee has announced the strike to press its demands, while authorities have urged citizens to remain peaceful and cooperate with law enforcement agencies.
