Indus Water Treaty: The people of Pakistan have been stirred up after postponing Indus Water Treaty by the Government of India. Pakistan is dependent on the water of the Indus River for 80 percent of the cultivation. India is going to stop Pakistan’s water under the new Indus project, which is scared of the people there.
Pakistan’s project shocks Pakistan
According to Reuters report on 22 April Pahalgam Ever since the Indus Water Treaty has been postponed after the terrorist attack, the project under which work was going on on Chenab, Jhelum and Indus rivers has been expedited. One of the main projects of the region is to double the length of Ranbir Dam on the Chenab River to 120 km. The water of this river goes through India to the agricultural area of Pakistan, Punjab.
According to the report, when India completes its project, it can bend 150 cubic meters per second, whereas only about 40 cubic meters of water is known. Pakistan Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said in the National Assembly that his government has written a letter to India asking him to reconsider the Indus Water Treaty. He told his MPs that this action of India is illegal.
Pakistan will crave electricity with India’s action
David Mitchell, a water security expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Vashington, said that it would take time for India to build dams, canals or other baniyadis. However, he warned the neighboring country that Pakistan has got an idea of what kind of pressure it may have to face from India.
Along with the plan to expand the Ranbir Canal, India is also considering the projects that will reduce the flow of water from the allotted rivers to Pakistan. With this, Pakistan will have to face a lot of problems in producing electricity for itself.
India made a list of hydro electric project- report
According to the report, India has created a list of hydro electric projects in the Jammu and Kashmir region, which will increase the power product from 3,360 MW to 12,000 MW. These projects also include dams that can accumulate large amounts of water, which will be the first time for India in the Indus river system.
PM Modi has clearly said that water and blood cannot flow together. Indian Foreign Ministry spokesman Randhir Jaiswal said on Tuesday (May 13, 2025) that India would postpone the Indus Water Treaty until Pakistan stops supporting terrorism.
