In a cowardly act, the Indian government led by Modi has blocked the water flow of the Neelum River, located in Kashmir.
India stopped the release of water into the Neelum River from the Kishanganga Dam.
According to reports, due to this the water flow has been decreased to 40 per cent.
Earlier, India accelerated work on a project to link the Chenab River to make Pakistan deprive of water.
Pakistan’s warning to India
Last week, DG ISPR Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry warned India that any attempt to stop Pakistan’s water will be met with serious consequences.
“It is some madman who can think that he can stop the water of over 240 million people. Dare not, cannot”, said DG ISPR, slamming Indian Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi.
After the Pahalgam incident, New Delhi unilaterally suspended a decades-old water-sharing agreement, Indus Water Treaty last month, blaming Pakistan for attack on tourists in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) without any proof.
According to international media, it’s nearly impossible for India to hold back tens of billions of cubic metres of water from the western rivers during high-flow periods. It lacks both the massive storage infrastructure and the extensive canals needed to divert such volumes.
Some experts say that if India begins controlling the flow with its existing and potential infrastructure, Pakistan could feel the impact during the dry season, when water availability is already at its lowest.
“A more pressing concern is what happens in the dry season – when the flows across the basin are lower, storage matters more, and timing becomes more critical,” Hassan F Khan, assistant professor of Urban Environmental Policy and Environmental Studies at Tufts University, wrote in the Dawn newspaper.
“That is where the absence of treaty constraints could start to be felt more acutely.”
