[India] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Hundreds of protesters gathered peacefully in Kotranka town, Rajouri district, Jammu and Kashmir on April 4, 2025, opposing the proposed Waqf amendment bill. The demonstration was classified as low severity with no reported violence or disruptions.

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 localized scope in a small town setting, immediate supply chain disruptions appear minimal unless protests expand geographically or intensity increases.

• Track any potential government response or policy announcements that could influence regional stability
