Shopkeepers in Udhampur city, Jammu and Kashmir, held a peaceful protest on March 29, 2025, burning an effigy in response to a militant encounter that killed four security personnel. The demonstration reflects local tensions following the security incident but remains categorized as low-severity.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event. Second-order effects would depend on whether similar protests spread across the region or if security responses disrupt local commercial activity, though the peaceful nature of this demonstration suggests minimal immediate disruption to regional trade flows.

• Track any security force deployments or movement restrictions that might impact transportation networks in the area
