Pakistan expected to face 21% water shortage after treaty suspension

Following a deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, India, which killed over 26 civilians, tensions between India and Pakistan have escalated sharply.

This move has caused a sudden drop in Chenab River inflows after India closed the Baghlihar and Salal dam gates. On May 5, Pakistan`s government warned farmers of an impending water crisis. The Indus River System Authority reported a 21% water shortage for the remaining early Kharif season, threatening crops like rice and cotton. As the region braces for agricultural disruption, the suspension of the decades-old treaty signals rising instability in an already tense geopolitical landscape.... [Read More]

Jammu locals react as Chenab riverbed dries after India halts flow to Pakistan

 In the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack, as India cracks down on the water flow to Pakistan, parts of Chenab riverbed have dried up in Jammu’s Akhnoor following the Chenab river flow cut to Pakistan. The marked decline in water levels follows the closure of gates at the Baglihar and Salal dams — a move seen as India asserting its rights under the long-standing Indus Waters Treaty. A local Kalyan Singh, said "Earlier, the Chenab River used to flow at a height of 25-30 feet, but now there is hardly 1.5-2 feet of water left here. This is because of PM Modi`s decision to put the Indus Waters Treaty on hold...We do not want even a single drop of water to be supplied to Pakistan.
