India has placed the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance, citing Pakistan's continued support for cross-border terrorism. Following the Pahalgam terror attack, New Delhi accelerated major infrastructure and water management projects across the Chenab basin in Jammu and Kashmir. Key developments include sediment flushing at the Salal, Baglihar, and Dulhasti dams, alongside fast-tracking hydroelectric projects like Pakul Dul, Kheeru, Kwar, and Ratle. Furthermore, the Sawalkote project received environmental clearance, and a feasibility study for the Chenab-Beas Link Three project is underway to divert surplus water.
The Ministry of External Affairs confirmed the treaty remains suspended until Islamabad irrevocably dismantles its terror networks. While Pakistan attempts to raise the water issue internationally, Indian officials assert that domestic water requirements have evolved, defending India's right to utilize its share of the river waters amid changing demographic needs and ongoing security concerns.
