India breaches Water Treaty again. India has again broken the Indus Water Treaty by announcing six additional hydroelectric projects on the Indus River.
Pakistan has warned the Indian Indus Water Commission of its worries over the development of six disputed projects.
India is building hydroelectric plants such as Durbuk Shyok (19 MW), Shankoo (18.5 MW), Nimu Chilling (24 MW), Mangdum Sangra (19 MW), Kargil Hunderman (25 MW), and Tamasha, according to the article (12 MW).
As India breaches Water Treaty again, the Pakistani Indus Water Commissioner has communicated his concerns to his Indian counterpart on an official level.
A delegation of the Indian Indus Water Commission, led by Commissioner PK Saxena, is planning to visit Pakistan in March 2022 for its annual conference.
It’s worth noting that India won’t be able to create a storage facility for more than 3.65 million acre-feet of water on western rivers, causing the flow of those rivers to change.
The Indus Water Treaty (IWT) is a water-distribution treaty between India and Pakistan, arranged and negotiated by the World Bank, to use the water available in the Indus River and its tributaries. It was signed in Karachi on 19 September 1960 by then-Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and then-Pakistani President Ayub Khan.
