The insiders said the Azad Kashmir government decided to suspend mobile and internet services for 2 days.


Prime Minister Shehbaz called a meeting on the situation in AJK on Monday (today), sources said.


The AJK premier and all stakeholders concerned will attend the meeting, the insiders added.


The sources said the minister for Kashmir affairs, energy and food security will also be the participants in the meeting.


Protests in AJK against power tariff hikes, flour prices and elite privileges have continued for the past three days.
