According to the notification issued by the AJK Home Department, the individuals added to the Fourth Schedule will be subject to strict monitoring under applicable laws. The move comes after the government declared JAAC a banned organization amid growing tensions surrounding its protest campaigns and political activities.
Officials said that those listed on the Fourth Schedule will face restrictions related to movement, participation in public gatherings, financial transactions, and other activities deemed relevant to security concerns.
