Pakistan clears cash to calm PoK

Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif approved approximately $82.6 million for Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) to address violent protests triggered by increasing electricity tariffs, flour prices, and taxes. The protests resulted in the death of a police officer and injuries to 90 others. The turmoil presents a challenge to Pakistan's military with a substantial presence in the area.
