Traders across Pakistan-occupied Gilgit-Baltistan shut down markets on October 14, 2026, protesting new taxation policies and the implementation of the Food Act 2022. The protest targeted strict fee structures, mandatory registration requirements, and tax enforcement measures. Fakhruddin, president of the Anjuman-e-Tajiran, criticized the authorities for enforcing the law despite earlier assurances that it would not be applied in the region.
