[India] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On March 30, 2025, wildlife department workers conducted a peaceful protest in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, demanding regularization of their employment services. The demonstration was classified as low-severity with no reported disruptions.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. A localized protest by wildlife department employees is unlikely to generate immediate supply chain disruptions, though sustained labor unrest in the region could affect broader administrative functions if the grievances remain unaddressed.

Watch points

• Monitor for expansion of labor protests to other government departments or sectors in Jammu and Kashmir
• Track any government response or negotiations regarding employment regularization demands
