- The Azad Jammu and Kashmir government proscribed the Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee on Friday under anti-terrorism laws, effectively banning all associated nomenclatures ahead of the group's planned June 9 protest.
- Following the ban, AJK Inspector General of Police Captain Liaquat Malik requested 14,000 additional law-enforcement personnel to maintain order during the planned protest, with deployment mandated for 15 days starting June 7.

- The AJK government issued a travel advisory urging visitors to leave the region by Saturday evening, with the advisory remaining in force through June 20 to avoid inconvenience during the protest period.
- Nomination filings for the July 27 general elections begin on June 9, coinciding with the planned protest; officials urged citizens to rely on democratic processes rather than street agitation to address constitutional matters.
