In March 2026, national news outlets reported heightened sectarian tensions across Pakistan tied to the Millat-e-Jafaria Shi'ite network, of which many residents of Jaffaria Colony are members. The unrest followed the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in U.S.- and Israeli-led strikes, prompting large-scale protests, mourning vigils, and calls for investigations — with Jaffaria Colony serving as a key local node in the broader mobilization. Clerics affiliated with the network demanded accountability and framed Khamenei as 'like our pope', underscoring deep transnational religious-political solidarity.

In late November 2025, a senior political leader toured the polling station in Jaffaria Colony, commending its organized arrangements for both male and female voters. The visit highlighted the colony’s significance as a politically active constituency amid preparations for upcoming electoral processes, reinforcing institutional engagement with the community’s civic infrastructure.

In July 2025, residents of B-Block, Jaffaria Colony — located behind Shezan Factory on Bund Road — reported a severe, day-long electricity outage beginning at 2 p.m. The incident triggered urgent social media appeals for intervention from LESCO and WASA, reflecting persistent infrastructural challenges and weak utility responsiveness in the area.

Throughout 2025, Jaffaria Colony hosted major Shi'ite religious observances, including large-scale Muharram majalis, Arbaeen processions, and commemorations of Imam Sajjad (AS) on 23 Muharram — widely documented via live streams and social media. These events reinforced communal identity and spiritual continuity, with dedicated venues like Markazi Ziyarat and Imambargahs serving as focal points.
