Intelligence analysis by GPT-5.4 Mini
A progress report says the AJK government has completed more than half of its agreement with JAAC, including steps on arrests, compensation, cabinet size, local government reform and utility relief. But several political and constitutional demands remain unresolved, and fresh protest calls have kept tensions alive.
The AJK government says it has finished more than half of the promises made to protest leaders, like fixing some money, jobs, and school rules. But a few big promises are still stuck, so the argument is not over yet.
Analysis
Implementation update
The report says the AJK government has fully completed 24 of 44 JAAC demands, while 16 are partially completed or still in process. Only four demands are described as stuck or not feasible. The government presents this as evidence of substantial progress on the October 2025 peace agreement with JAAC.
What has been done
The report lists several completed actions: 177 FIRs were withdrawn except for 15 death-related cases, suspended employees were reinstated, and detainees in Rawalpindi and Islamabad were released. The cabinet has been reduced to 20 ministers, the Local Government Act has been passed, and funds for local government are being transferred. It also says the Ehtesab Bureau and Anti-Corruption Establishment were merged.
Compensation has reportedly been paid to affected families, including Rs. 70 million to families of seven deceased people and Rs. 48 million to 48 injured persons. Other completed items include wheat supply measures, abolition of 5 KW load charges for schools and colleges, clearing dues of Mangla Dam affectees, implementing the Health Card scheme, enforcing open merit in educational institutions, and setting up two more education boards.
What remains open
The report says some political demands remain unresolved and are being treated as challenges to the existing democratic and constitutional order. It specifically mentions overseas voting and abolishing refugee seats as difficult or impractical. A proposed judicial commission on the JAAC-AJK Police confrontation also hit legal trouble after the High Court refused to notify it, leaving the government likely to nominate a retired judge.
Ongoing work
Several projects are still under way, including cellular internet expansion, a solution framework for the Mangla Dam issue, feasibility work on Mirpur Airport with the Ministry of Defence, and reconstruction of the Kahuta-Azad Pattan Road under the federal PSDP 2025-26. Surveys for electricity system upgrades and funding for CT scan and MRI machines are also in progress.
Key points
- AJK says it has completed 24 of 44 JAAC demands, with 16 more partly done or in progress.
- The government says 177 FIRs were withdrawn, suspended employees reinstated, and detainees released.
- Compensation has been paid to families of people killed and injured in the protests.
- Several governance and relief measures, including the Local Government Act and Health Card scheme, have been implemented.
- Political and constitutional demands remain unresolved, and some are described as impractical or not feasible.
If the completed steps keep moving forward, more of the protest agreement could be turned into real policy and relief. That could lower tension, improve services, and show that the government can deliver on its promises.
The unresolved political demands could keep the dispute alive even after many practical steps were completed. If legal hurdles, protest calls, or disagreement over core issues continue, the agreement may not fully settle the unrest.
