Following a deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, India, which killed over 26 civilians, tensions between India and Pakistan have escalated sharply. In a bold response, India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty, disrupting the flow of water from key rivers into Pakistan. This move has caused a sudden drop in Chenab River inflows after India closed the Baghlihar and Salal dam gates. On May 5, Pakistan's government warned farmers of an impending water crisis. The Indus River System Authority reported a 21% water shortage for the remaining early Kharif season, threatening crops like rice and cotton. As the region braces for agricultural disruption, the suspension of the decades-old treaty signals rising instability in an already tense geopolitical landscape.

Following the deadly Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 tourists, India has reduced the flow of Chenab River water to Pakistan by up to 90%. This action was taken through the Baglihar Dam in Jammu and Kashmir after suspending the Indus Waters Treaty. Visuals from the Salal Dam also show zero water flow downstream. Both dams are vital under the treaty. Pakistan, which depends heavily on this water for farming and power, may face serious shortages. Locals in Jammu and Kashmir have praised the government’s move, calling it a strong response. This is part of India’s broader measures against Pakistan after the recent terror attack.
