PoGB, March 25, 2025 – Protests against the Diamer-Bhasha Dam project in Pakistan-occupied Gilgit-Baltistan (PoGB) are escalating, with growing participation from religious groups. Locals are opposing land acquisition and displacement due to concerns over insufficient compensation and livelihood threats. Religious leaders have framed the issue as a matter of social justice, adding weight to the movement.
The protests, gaining significant momentum, have drawn support from various sectors of society. The religious influence has intensified pressure on authorities, who now face increasing calls for the reassessment of the project’s impact and fair treatment of the affected communities.
