Daily Diary (DD) - Day 152 of 2026

1159hrs:

Still a few planets away from that 2000hrs (8pm) closing and 0300hrs (3am) opening time for my interaction with the world.

My 0600hrs daily Facebook Live presentation is also regularly being broadcast many an hour late every day. We are all responsible for the delay in reaching our common destination. I must focus on addressing my own responsibilities before entering the realm of hope that others also fulfil their respective responsibilities.

On a more comforting note, we have reached the unprecedented pedestal of being 152 not out, in terms of presenting daily diaries to you, without missing a single day this year so far.

....

The following is the most up to date status of the 38 point charter of demands presented by the Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee, agreed in writing in a time-bound manner by representatives of the State of Pakistan on 4 October 2025, otherwise referred to as the 'Muzaffarabad Agreement'.

This material has been directly taken from Faisal Jameel Kashmiri's FaceBook page linked here:

جموں کشمیر جوائنٹ عوامی ایکشن کمیٹی اور حکومتوں کے درمیان مذاکرات اگر 9 گھنٹے جاری رہے تو 7 گھنٹے چارٹر آف ڈیمانڈ کے 37 مطالبات پر گفتگو ہوئی۔

اس حوالے سے نہ کوئی صحافی بات کرتا ہے اور نہ حکومت۔۔


 ہیلتھ کارڈ فنکشنل نہیں ہے-

بجلی سے متعلق 10 ارب روپیہ موصول نہیں ہوا-

ہیلتھ کے 5 ارب روپیہ ابھی تک پینڈنگ ہے-

مراعات کے حوالے سے کمیٹی نہیں بنی-

15-

نومبر 2019ء کے عدالتی فیصلہ پر عملدرآمد نہیں ہوا

بنک آف اے جے کے شیڈولڈ نہیں ہو سکا-

لوکل گورنمنٹ ایکٹ کا معاملہ کھٹائی کا شکار ہے-

منگلا ڈیم متاثرین کو حقوق ملکیت نہیں ملے-

احتساب ایکٹ کا معاملہ جوں کا توں ہے-

کہوڑی کامسر ٹنل فنڈز کے باوجود التواء میں ہے-

انٹرنیٹ اور موبائل سروسز درست نہیں ہو سکیں-

کہوٹہ آزاد پتن روڈ کی فیزیبلٹی کا کچھ پتہ نہیں ہے-

بجلی میٹرز کی ای ٹینڈرنگ التواء میں ہے-

گندم آج بھی یوکرین کی مل رہی ہے-

سالڈ ویسٹ منیجمنٹ پراجیکٹس اعلانات تک محدود ہیں-

طلبہ یونینز کا کچھ پتہ نہیں ہے-

واٹر سپلائی سکیمز کا علم نہیں ہے کہاں پہنچیں-

ڈی ایچ کیوز اور ٹی ایچ کیوز کے معاملات تشنہ طلب ہیں-

گلپور اور رحمان پل کا معاملہ جوں کا توں ہے-

۔۔

 یہ سب بھی تو ڈسکس ہوا ہے مذاکرات میں۔ اس پر بات کیوں نہیں کرتے سب لوگ؟

English translation:

If talks (on the 30th of May 2026) between Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) and (representatives of the State of Pakistan) continued for 9 hours, (it should be noted) that 7 hours were devoted to discussing the 37 other demands included in the Charter.

In this context, neither any journalist or the government makes any mention of this (point).
..

- Health card is not functional 
(Point 6 of 4th October agreement)

- 10 billion rupees for improving the electricity infrastructure has not been received 
(Point 8)

- 5 billion rupees related to health infrastructure is still pending 
(Point 7 & Point 7 of additional points)

- A committee has yet to be formed regarding perks & privileges of bureaucrats & politicians 
(This was the 3rd demand after flour & electricity from the outset. Also related to Point 13 of additional points)

- High Court decision (on environmental conditions) of 15 November 2019 has yet to be implemented 
(Point 4 of additional points)

- Bank of AJK could not be given the status of a scheduled bank 
(Again amongst initial demands soon after abolition of perks & privileges) 

- Local Government Act (1990) appears to be a victim of cuts 
(Point 5)

- Affectees (indeed victims) of Mangla Dam have not received their right of ownership (Point 4 of main points & point 11 of additional points)

- The prospect of an Accountability Act remains remote 
(related to Point 10)

- Kahori to Kamsar tunnel project appears static despite the availability of funds 
(Point 11)

- (Deliberately) weak internet & mobile communication services have not been addressed (amongst initial demands at outset)

- We don't know what happened to the feasibility report for reconstruction of the Kahuta (Pakistan) to Azad Pattan (AJK border with Pakistan) road 
(Also amongst early demands at outset, while related to Point 7 of main points & Point 11 of additional points)

- E-tendering of electricity meters remains pending 
(related to Point 8)

- (The people of AJK) are still being supplied (outdated & insect infected) wheat from Ukraine 
(Part of 1st demand partially resolved with flour subsidies in May 2024)

- Prospective (and promised) solid waste management projects remain confined to announcements 
(A long standing public demand even pre-dating the emergence of JAAC in 2023)

- We don't know what's happening with our demand for the restoration of student unions 
(Amongst early demands of JAAC)

- We remain (totally) un-informed about the water supply schemes promised 
(Related to Point 4,5 & 10 of additional points)

- We await with bated breath (a sense of thirst) on the fulfilment of promises related to facilities for District Headquarters & Tehsil Headquarters (medical facilities) 
(Related to point 7 of main points & point 6 of additional points)

- The promises related to the reconstruction of the bridges at Gulpur & Rehman (near Kotli) remain just promises
(Point 7 of additional points)
..

All these aforementioned (pending/unfulfilled written promises) have been discussed in the negotiations. Why doesn't everybody reference them or even discuss them?

End of English translation..

Note:

It would be appropriate for all keen researchers & activists to refer to the original 38 Point Charter of Demands too for background context.
