Residents of Gali, Zundan in Tehsil Buleda, launched a large-scale protest against the oppressive Paki establishment of a new Pak military checkpoint within their community, blocking the main road. The protest saw significant participation from local residents, including women, all united in opposition to the unchecked military presence.
Protestors expressed their deep frustration, pointing out that a checkpoint already exists at Bahut Bazaar, which has long been a source of harassment for the people. These military outposts are notorious for tormenting the civilian population.
Later, after successful negotiations between the Frontier Corps (FC) and the residents of Gali Buleida, the protest has come to an end. The FC, acknowledging the concerns of the local population, agreed to relocate the checkpoint away from the village.
The Pak Army’s aggressive actions in Pak-occupied-Balochistan, including heavy troop deployments and night-time searchlights directed at homes, have created an atmosphere of fear and oppression, particularly for women. These tactics are blatant violations of human rights, and the constant military presence disrupts daily life and causes widespread anxiety among the people.
