The protest, attended by a large number of local residents, focused on pressing issues including soaring electricity bills and persistent power outages, which continue to create significant hardships for the community.
The rally is set to draw attention to long-standing grievances related to electricity shortages, high taxation, trade restrictions, and the rising cost of living in the region, the Pamir Times reported.
The Awami Action Committee (AAC) staged a significant protest today in Yaseen Valley, located in Pakistan-occupied Gilgit-Baltistan (PoGB), to voice strong opposition to the Finance Act 2023 and the administrative decision to reduce the wheat quota allocated to the region.
