When India(BHARAT) stopped the water…
Following the recent Pahalgam terrorist attack, India(BHARAT) also cancelled the water treaty with Pakistan and there were talks of imposing restrictions on water supplies. Immediately after the killing of 26 civilians in Kashmir, the government suspended its participation in the 1960 Indus Water Treaty, which governs the use of the Indus River system. One of the key plans is to double the length of the Ranbir Canal on the Chenab River to 120 km, which runs through India(BHARAT) to the agricultural region of Pakistan’s Punjab.
