[Pakistan] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Farmers in Gujrat city, Punjab province, Pakistan held a peaceful protest on April 9, 2025, against the suspension of work on the Kharian-Sambrial Motorway due to delayed payments. The demonstration appears localized with low severity.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether infrastructure delays spread to other regional transport projects.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation of farmer protests in Punjab province if infrastructure payment delays become systemic
• Track progress on Kharian-Sambrial Motorway construction resumption as indicator of broader regional infrastructure investment health
