#India #RiverDispute #NDTVReport
An Indian private broadcaster, NDTV, reported on the 5th of the temporary halting of water flow from a dam on the Chenab River, a tributary of the Indus River. The dam, situated in the Indian-administered region, has raised concerns about water scarcity downstream in Pakistan.
The Indus River system is crucial for both India and Pakistan, with water sharing being a contentious issue between the two countries. The temporary blocking of water by India has sparked tensions and raised questions about the impact on agriculture and livelihoods in Pakistan, highly dependent on the river’s water for irrigation.
Ramesh Khatri, a representative of Kansai Nepal News, expressed concerns over the potential escalation of the water dispute between India and Pakistan. He emphasized the importance of diplomacy and dialogue in resolving such conflicts to ensure the sustainable management of shared water resources for the benefit of all stakeholders involved.
