India Cuts Pakistan’s River Water by 90%, Sparking Fears of War
India’s reduction of the Chenab River’s flow by 90 percent, due to maintenance at the Baglihar dam and planned work at the Kishanganga dam, has heightened tensions with Pakistan. This action follows India’s suspension of the Indus Water Treaty and other retaliatory measures in response to recent attacks and border clashes. Pakistan views any water diversion as an act of war, issuing strong warnings and conducting missile tests. The situation reflects the long-standing conflict over Kashmir and threatens further escalation.
