Indus Water Treaty

India has chalked out an inter-basin water transfer plan for full utilisation of its share of Indus river waters. A feasibility study is being undertaken for a 113-km canal for diverting surplus flows from Jammu & Kashmir to Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan.

Explaining how the flow of Brahmaputra river increases dramatically in India while it is way lesser at the Indo-China border, the Assam Chief Minister said, “At the Indo-China border (Tuting): Flow is ~2,000–3,000 m³/s. In Assam plains (e.g., Guwahati): Flow swells to 15,000–20,000 m³/s during monsoon.”

Punjab and Sindh, two Pakistani provinces, rely entirely on irrigation canals connected to the Indus river system.

India has said that Pakistan should stop blaming India for halting the Indus Water Treaty, adding that Pakistan itself is responsible for the same

It is notable here that Omar Abdullah neither spoke about attacking Pakistan, or doing any sort of act of aggression towards Pakistani people. He was merely suggesting the revival of a navigation project that would better utilise the waters of Jhelum and open up navigation routes, besides bringing development for the people of north Kashmir.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given a clear instruction to defence forces, to retaliate with any Pakistani attack with equal and more force.

Bilawal Bhutto, who has become obsolete in his own country's political landscape, is desperately trying to gain some political relevance through his anti-India howling.

As Indian government has suspended the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan and stopped flow of water of several rivers to Pakistan, a new water war has emerged between Indian states Punjab and Haryana

India, which is an upstream nation, possesses a natural hydrological high ground. The Indus’s headwaters and five major tributaries flow from the Himalayan mountains in India into Pakistan.

A visibly disturbed Kumar questioned the capability of the Indian government to stop the water flowing into Pakistan.
