  • Pakistan-administered Kashmir called on residents near the de facto border with India to stockpile food on Friday as tensions flare between the arch-rivals following a deadly attack last month.The attack in Indian Kashmir and subsequent tensions, including expulsions and closed border crossings, have raised fears of a conflagration between India and Pakistan.

The government of Pakistani-administered Kashmir has issued an order to stockpile food and fuel in preparation for potential conflict with India, as reported on January 29, 2023. This directive comes in response to heightened tensions between the two nations, particularly over the disputed territory of Kashmir. The order mandates the accumulation of essential supplies such as wheat, sugar, and fuel to ensure the region's self-sufficiency for at least three months. This move reflects the ongoing concerns about the stability and security in the region, exacerbated by recent military skirmishes and political rhetoric.
