The Pathankot-Jammu and Jammu-Poonch highways experienced disruptions in vehicular traffic on Friday due to ongoing protests against the Centre's new Agnipath scheme for recruiting soldiers in the armed forces. This marked the second day of demonstrations in Jammu.

According to sources, protesters blocked the Pathankote-National Highway at Kunjwani near Jammu and at Kalibari in Kathua, demanding a rollback of the new recruitment policy. They also blocked the Jammu-Poonch National Highway for nearly two hours at Muradpur in Rajouri district.

While the blockade at Kunjwani near Jammu persisted, protesters in Kathua were dispersed after blocking the road for nearly two hours. In Rajouri, the protesters dispersed after the police assured them that they would convey their demands to the relevant officials.
