Funerals for 13 individuals, including a security official, who died during protests in Gilgit and Skardu were held on March 3, 2026. The protests erupted after the assassination of Ayatollah Khamenei, leading to a three-day curfew imposed by authorities to manage the deteriorating law and order situation. The curfew was initially strict but was relaxed for a few hours to allow citizens to procure essential goods. However, mobile networks were intermittently suspended, complicating communication for residents during the unrest.
