Despite Pakistan’s appeals for rethink on the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) 1960, India has chosen to remain silent. Instead, India is proactively bolstering its water storage and canal infrastructure, strategically positioning itself to divert the flow of water from Pakistan’s rivers ahead of any negotiations.
India has launched a pre-feasibility study for the construction of the Chenab-Ravi-Beas-Sutlej link canal project aimed at diverting water from the Chenab currently flowing into Pakistan under the currently inactive Indus Waters Treaty (IWT).
India started proactively bolstering its water infrastructure over the Indus Basin region before getting into future re-negotiation of the #IndusWaterTreaty.
