India cuts water flow to Pakistan through Baglihar dam after Indus Treaty halt

Following the deadly Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 tourists, India has reduced the flow of Chenab River water to Pakistan by up to 90%. This action was taken through the Baglihar Dam in Jammu and Kashmir after suspending the Indus Waters Treaty. Visuals from the Salal Dam also show zero water flow downstream. Both dams are vital under the treaty. Pakistan, which depends heavily on this water for farming and power, may face serious shortages. Locals in Jammu and Kashmir have praised the government’s move, calling it a strong response. This is part of India’s broader measures against Pakistan after the recent terror attack.
