MUZAFFARABAD: Following the Pahalgam attack, India’s hostile tactics have once again come to light, as it suddenly unleashed water into the Jhelum River without notifying Pakistan.
The abrupt discharge caused a significant rise in water levels near Muzaffarabad, prompting the local administration to declare a water emergency in Hattian Bala. Warnings were issued through mosque announcements, creating panic among residents living close to the riverbanks.
The water surge, originating from Indian-occupied Anantnag and flowing through the Chakothi sector, was unexpected but not surprising given India’s recent threats to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT).
India’s actions are seen as a blatant violation of international law and long-standing water agreements. The move has sparked outrage across Pakistan, uniting the public against this act of aggression.
It is worth noting that the Indus Waters Treaty has withstood the strains of three wars and numerous regional conflicts. Yet now, India appears poised to walk away from the historic agreement.
In response, Pakistan’s National Security Committee has implemented strong measures under international law and issued a warning that any further hostile moves by India could dangerously escalate tensions between the two countries.
