Pahalgam: India starts 'flushing' hydro projects
Mint New Delhi
|May 06, 2025
India has begun work to boost reservoir holding capacity at two hydroelectric projects in Jammu and Kashmir, people with knowledge of the matter told Reuters, after fresh tension with Pakistan led it to suspend a water-sharing pact.
The work represents the first tangible step by India to operate outside agreements covered by the Indus Waters Treaty, which both countries have honoured since 1960 despite three wars and several other conflicts.
Last month, however, New Delhi suspended the pact that ensures supply to 80% of Pakistani farms after it identified two of the three assailants in an attack that killed 26 people in Kashmir as Pakistani.
