UNION Home Minister Amit Shah will hold a high-level meeting this week with Union Minister of Jal Shakti CR Patil and Cabinet colleagues from the power, irrigation, and renewable energy departments to discuss strategies for accelerating hydropower projects that have stalled or slowed down due to Pakistan's objections.

- JITENDRA CHOUBEY @ New Delhi

This will be Shah's third meeting with Patil following the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT). Under the IWT, India had to notify Pakistan at least six months before starting any projects. However, since the treaty has been suspended, India is not obligated to seek consent or opinions from riparian states.

The context for this meeting stems from the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, which resulted in the deaths of 26 Indians. In response, India decided to suspend the 65-year-old IWT due to Pakistan's ongoing support for terrorism.
