The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) flagged that many lives have been lost in the unrest and appealed to the global community to stand with the people of the region. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said the situation in PoK is a matter of serious concern. He urged the international community to take note of the deteriorating conditions and support efforts to restore peace and stability. The MEA has not specified the exact number of casualties or the timeline of the events. The Indian government has long maintained that PoK is an integral part of India. This appeal for global solidarity is seen as a diplomatic move to draw attention to the region's instability. Odia migrant workers were beaten up in Hyderabad and their money was snatched.
