Indus Water Treaty: India will complete its project. It will then be able to divert 150 cubic meters of water per second. Currently, it can divert only about 40 cubic meters of water.
India’s project gives shock to Pakistan
According to a Reuters report, work on the projects on Chenab, Jhelum, and Indus rivers has been expedited. This has been happening since the Indus Water Treaty was suspended after the Pahalgam terrorist attack on April 22. One major project in this area aims to double the length of the Ranbir Dam on the Chenab River. The goal is to extend it to 120 kilometers. The water of this river passes through India to Pakistan’s agricultural region Punjab.
According to the report, when India completes its project, its water diversion capacity will increase. It will be able to divert 150 cubic meters of water per second. Once the project is finished, India’s capability to divert water will significantly increase. Currently, it can divert only about 40 cubic meters of water. Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said in the National Assembly. He stated that his government has written a letter to India. They are asking it to reconsider the Indus Water Treaty. He told his MPs that this action of India is illegal.

Pakistan will crave for electricity due to India’s action
David Mitchell is a water security expert at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies. He said that it will take time for India to build dams. It will also take time to construct canals or other infrastructure. However, he warned the neighboring country. Pakistan has realized the pressure it may have to face from India.
India has a plan to expand the Ranbir Canal. In addition, it is also considering projects that will reduce the flow of water from the rivers allotted to Pakistan. Due to this, Pakistan will face a lot of problems in generating electricity for itself.
India made a list of hydro electric projects – report
According to the report, India has prepared a list of hydro electric projects in the Jammu and Kashmir region. These projects will increase the power output from 3,360 MW to 12,000 MW.
