JAAC defers march for a week after back-channel talks

The Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) has postponed its planned march to Muzaffarabad for a week following private discussions with influential intermediaries. This comes after concerns about the march weren't addressed through official channels, prompting JAAC to directly contact the army chief. Thousands had gathered at Rawalakot’s Eidgah Ground in anticipation of the march, which was seen as a significant event amid heightened tensions. This deferment suggests a possible easing of tensions, but the underlying issues that spurred the march remain unresolved, underscoring the need for sustained dialogue.
