Pakistan accuses India of altering Chenab River flow as tensions rise

Pakistan on Tuesday (May 6) accused India of altering the flow of the Chenab River, one of three rivers placed under Pakistan's control according to the now-suspended Indus Waters Treaty.


This major river originates in India but was allocated to Pakistan under the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty, signed by the two nuclear powers.

India suspended the treaty following a deadly attack in Indian-administered Kashmir on Apr 22 that killed 26 people.


Islamabad warned that tampering with its rivers would be considered "an act of war".


"We have witnessed changes in the river (Chenab) which are not natural at all," Kazim Pirzada, irrigation minister for Punjab province, told AFP.


Punjab, bordering India and home to nearly half of Pakistan's 240 million citizens, is the country's agricultural heartland, and "the majority impact will be felt in areas which have fewer alternate water routes," Pirzada warned.

"One day the river had normal inflow and the next day it was greatly reduced," Pirzada added.

In Pakistan-administered Kashmir, large quantities of water from India were reportedly released on Apr 26, according to the Jinnah Institute, a think tank led by a former Pakistani climate change minister.


"This is being done so that we don't get to utilise the water," Pirzada added.


The gates of the sluice spillways on the Baglihar dam in Indian-administered Kashmir, which lies upstream of Pakistani Punjab, "have been lowered to restrict water flow ... as a short-term punitive action," a senior Indian official has told The Indian Express.

The Indus Waters Treaty permits India to use shared rivers for dams or irrigation but prohibits diverting watercourses or altering downstream volumes.


Indian authorities have not commented yet, but Kushvinder Vohra, former head of India's Central Water Commission, told The Times of India: "Since the treaty is on pause ... we may do flushing on any project without any obligation".


Experts said the water cannot be stopped in the long term, and that India can only regulate the timings of when it releases flows.


However, the Jinnah Institute warned: "Even small changes in the timing of water releases can disrupt sowing calendars (and) reduce crop yields".

Muslim Pakistanis are not the most peaceful and rational people to deal with.

Pakistan speaks of ‘crushing response’

In a social media post, Pakistan’s information minister, Attaullah Tarar, accused India of carrying out “cowardly attacks on innocent civilians and mosques”.
India said it had hit “terrorist infrastructure”, claiming it struck sites where attacks against it were planned and directed.
In his post, Tarar said that “the Armed Forces of Pakistan are delivering a crushing response, exactly in line with the sentiments of the people”, without offering details.
“This nation will hold the enemy accountable for every single drop of its martyrs’ blood,” he added.

They're interviewing a Pakistani guy on Sky News right now and he is absolutely fuming the female presenter is debunking all his arguments.

Mr. Trump and the US are also a bit of a worry.

And nose.

30 years ago my old geography teacher said that China will rule the world and that water will be the cause of a future world war, and he probably won't be wrong.

I've worked with loads and the vast majority have been good blokes.

However, I have formed the opinion that you'd better stay on the right side of them.

They can be 'touchy'.

Indians are way better company.

What sort of 'horrendouus' stuff do they come out with?

I remember last time they were about to blow each other into God's kingdom, the 2002 World Cup started and everybody on both sides stopped for 4 weeks to watch wall to wall footy and then, when the tournament was over, they could not remember exactly what they had been fighting about and put their toys away.

Surprising.

Pakistanis have next to no interest in football ime.

And Indians have little more.

Are you sure it wasn't the cricket?

I don't know. I am only going my own foggy recollection.

Maybe it was the journalists that got distracted and stopped giving it so much airtime with more important business to hand.

The last comment was a manager posting a pic on social media of himself and 3 white female colleagues. He got suspended over that and everyone was hoping he'd get sacked but alas no the upper management didn't want to upset the Muslim workforce.

"Take your prayer break, that's more important than work"

I would go on, but I'll be labelled as "far right."

But on the plus side, if you went on then there might be something that, well, something that wasn't pretty much meaningless and nbd.

How full of piss and wind you are.

'Me with my bitches' - you were outraged at that?

Seriously?

Seems a bit 'woke' of you.

A bit 'politically correct'.

Do you think saying 'take your prayer break, it's more important than work' is offensive, BLD?

They seem quite reasonable compared to Donald trump

They can take all the prayer breaks they want cybil..but fuck nose what you are on about. Prayer breaks? Where did I say that. I only pointed out the historical fact that the Pakistan and Indians/ Bangladesh's were all one. Before partition. No surprise that they think each other are shite though. To the point they had to annex the country.

..... maybe they are, at least when they are not forcibly sending their daughters back to the village outside islamabad in order to marry the cousin, the one who looks after the bullocks and chickens, before returning to the UK and giving birth to 5 or 6 inbred mutants who will be a burden on the NHS for the next 60 years.

give me hindus and the sikhs every time. you can trust them. i wouldnt give the 'stanis the steam off my piss, they're a troublesome bunch, both at home and abroad. they hid bin laden away for a start.
