Thousands March to Muzaffarabad After Failed Talks in PoK

Thousands of protesters have marched to Muzaffarabad in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) after failed talks between the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) and the authorities. The protests have been sparked by the breakdown of negotiations between the JAAC and the authorities, which had been aimed at resolving the ongoing unrest in the region. The Election Commission has postponed legislative assembly polls in two districts, Sudhnoti and Rawalakot, due to the unrest. The protests have been marked by clashes between protesters and security forces, with several people injured. The situation in PoK remains tense, with the authorities struggling to contain the protests.
