Dam built on Chenab River
The tension between India and Pakistan is increasing. Pakistan has tried to attack again by drone again on Friday morning after the attack late on Thursday morning, which the Indian Army gave a befitting reply. India is completely defeating Pakistan through the fight of weapons, cannons, drones as well as diplomatic war. After the Pahalgam terror attack, India suspended the Indus Water Agreement. On the morning of May 9, 3 gates of Salal Dam on the Chenab river have been opened. In Ramban, a gate of the Bagalihar Hydropower Project Dam on the Chenab River has been opened.

Earlier, India had reduced the water level of Chenab river on the previous day. According to news agency ANI, Indian authorities closed all gates of the Bagihar Hydropower Project Dam on the Chenab River. All the gates of Salal Dam on the Chenab river were also closed. However, India has taken care of marine creatures naturally, understanding its responsibility naturally. Water was being released from a gate of Salal and Balghar Dam to ensure that there was no significant impact on sea wildlife.
Is the water reduced in the fields of Islamabad?
The Indus River Agreement includes Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas, Sutlej. Through the 1960 treaty of their use, rights were divided between India and Pakistan. Pakistan is dependent on these river systems for irrigation.
Muhammad Khalid Idris Rana, a spokesman of the Indus River System Authority of Pakistan, told Bloomberg that India has reduced the amount of water to Pakistan by about 90 percent. He said that if the decrease in the flow continues, Islamabad will have to reduce fifth in the water supply in the fields. He said that India usually keeps some water daily for electricity generation, but leaves it every few hours.
The advisory panel of the Indus River System Authority of Pakistan (IRSA) expressed deep concern over the sudden decrease in the flow of the Chenab river in Marla on Monday. He had said that this step of India will lead to shortage of water at the beginning of the Kharif season. The control of the Chenab River flow due to increasing stress with Pakistan is widely considered to be a strategic sign of India’s ability to release water. However, it is also being said that India has raised it to control the rising water level due to heavy rains in the region and manage pressure on the dam.
