[India] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 7, 2025, opposition party representatives including JKNC, CPI(M), INC, and independents staged a peaceful protest outside the assembly in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, regarding the Waqf (Amendment) Act and alleged incidents within the legislative session. The demonstration appears limited in scope and severity.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. Given the peaceful nature and political focus of the protest, immediate supply chain disruptions appear minimal unless broader civil unrest develops in the Kashmir region.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation beyond peaceful demonstration or expansion to other cities in Jammu and Kashmir
• Track any follow-on protests or political developments that could affect regional stability and cross-border trade routes
