AJ&K Authorities Reject Claims of Police Forcing Civilians to Destroy Food Supplies
According to official sources, no evidence has been presented to support the serious allegation.
MUZAFFARABAD (Web Desk) – Authorities in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJ&K) have strongly rejected allegations that police personnel forced civilians to destroy food supplies intended for affected areas, describing the claim as unsubstantiated and misleading.
According to official sources, no evidence has been presented to support the serious allegation. Officials noted that the report in question itself includes statements from police and district authorities denying the claim and clarifying that supply vehicles are being facilitated throughout the region.
Authorities maintained that any disruption in transportation has primarily resulted from protest-related road blockades rather than actions by law enforcement agencies. An official press release issued by AJ&K Police stated that roads remain accessible and that the movement of essential commodities continues uninterrupted.
During a joint press conference held on June 23, AJ&K Chief Secretary and Inspector General of Police (IGP) categorically refuted the allegations. The officials explained that difficulties on certain routes were caused by protesters affiliated with the proscribed Action Committee, who allegedly attempted to stop and loot trucks carrying essential goods into AJ&K.
Law enforcement agencies subsequently secured the vehicles and recovered the commodities, ensuring their safe delivery, the officials said.
The administration emphasized that all major routes remain open for traffic and that measures are being taken to maintain the uninterrupted supply of food and other necessities across the region.

Officials further expressed concern over what they described as the reliance on a single and inadequate source of information by a reputable news organization. They argued that the report failed to provide sufficient evidence to support its headline allegation and called for responsible and fact-based journalism.
