The government in Pakistan-administered Kashmir (PoK) and the Awami Action Committee (AAC) have reached a consensus, resulting in the cessation of the ongoing protests. The government agreed to 21 of the 38 demands put forth by the AAC. The AAC has since announced the end of the protests, although mourning processions will continue for three days to honor those who died during the movement.
The agreement provides that the families of those who died during the protests will receive compensation equivalent to government employees, and a job will be given to a family member within 20 days. Injured individuals will be provided with financial assistance of 1 million rupees. The individuals responsible for violence and fatalities will face charges under anti-terrorism laws, and a judicial inquiry will follow.
Significant reforms are planned for the education sector, including the establishment of two new boards in PoK: the Intermediate Board and the Higher Secondary Education Board, with all existing boards to be linked to the central education board of Pakistan within 30 days. Health services will be improved through the installation of CT scan and MRI machines in each district. Funds will be released within 15 days to support a health card program.
To enhance the electricity infrastructure in PoK, the Pakistani government will allocate 100 million rupees. Land will be provided to displaced families in the Mirpur district within a month. Construction of bridges is planned for Gulpur and Rahman (Kotli), alongside the installation of water supply and transmission lines in the Dadial area.
Additional key decisions include limiting the number of ministers and advisors to 20, a forthcoming announcement regarding an airport in Mirpur, aligning property transfer tax with rates in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, implementing the 2019 High Court ruling on hydroelectric projects, releasing all protesters arrested on October 2nd and 3rd in Rawalpindi and Islamabad, and reviewing the transport policy for 1300cc vehicles.
