FACT CHECK
◼️ BBC Urdu has published a report claiming that police in Pakistan-administered Kashmir stopped civilians carrying food, medicines and fuel and ordered them to destroy these supplies.
◼️ The report’s headline and central allegation rely entirely on the account of a single anonymous source (“Naveed”, a pseudonym). No video evidence, independent witnesses, official record, or third-party verification has been provided to substantiate this serious claim.
◼️ The report itself carries statements from police and district authorities rejecting the allegation and stating that supply vehicles are being facilitated, while disruptions are primarily linked to protest-related road blockades. (The official AJ&K police press release confirming the uninterrupted accessibility of the road is attached).
◼️In a press conference jointly addressed by Chief Secretary AJ&K and Inspector General of Police (IGP) AJ&K on 23 June, such claims were categorically refuted. The officials provided facts, stating that inconvenience on roads was caused by protestors of proscribed Action Committee who tried to stop and loot trucks laden with commodities arriving in AJ&K. The same were later secured and recovered by law enforcement agencies.
◼️This establishes the fact that routes remain open for all types of traffic. The link to complete press conference and subsequent news clippings are attached for reference.

Fact: The use of a single poor source of information by a reputable and old news service is both unfortunate and deplorable. The article does not provide evidence sufficient to support the headline allegation. The claim that police forced civilians to destroy food, medicines, or fuel is incorrect and being misused for purposes of narrativization.
Truth Prevails over Falsehood
