Multiple gates of the Salal Dam in Jammu and Kashmir's Reasi district are opened after heavy rainfall increases inflow into the reservoir. The Salal project sits on the Chenab, which flows downstream into Pakistan, putting the dam's operations under close attention across the border. The development comes amid the continuing Indus Waters Treaty dispute, after India placed the treaty in abeyance following the Pahalgam terror attack.

A major signal from Washington on Jammu and Kashmir. US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor says the US could reassess its travel advisory for the region, citing improved security. During his first visit to Jammu and Kashmir, Gor met Chief Minister Omar Abdullah in Srinagar. The two discussed India-US relations, economic cooperation and what Washington can do for Jammu and Kashmir. Gor also called J&K an “important part of India” and said many Americans could enjoy visiting the region.
