Omar, Mufti spar over ‘weaponising’ water, patriotism, pro-Pakistan tilt

IndiaTimes Friday, 16 May 2025 ()
J&K CM Omar Abdullah's push to restart the Tulbul Navigation Project amid Indus Water Treaty discussions sparked a feud with PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti, who accused him of "weaponising water." The leaders clashed over patriotism and regional interests, with accusations of being pro-Pakistan. The project, stalled since 1987 due to Pakistani objections, aims to aid winter power generation.

Pakistan Faces Severe Water Crisis As Indus Waters Treaty Still In Abeyance | Punjab Hit Hardest

Pakistan is staring at a water disaster as India holds the Indus Waters Treaty of 1960 in abeyance. The flow of water from rivers like Chenab and Jhelum has plummeted, with Punjab province the worst affected. Water availability in the Indus system is down by over 10%, raising alarm for the approaching kharif season. Pakistan's key dams—Tarbela and Mangla—are also below optimal levels. The crisis follows India’s suspension of the treaty after the Pahalgam terror attack, and Pakistan has warned that blocking water flow could be considered an "act of war." #PakistanWaterCrisis #IndusWatersTreaty #IndiaPakistan #PunjabDrought #ChenabRiver #IRSA #WaterWar #TarbelaDam #ManglaDam #KharifSeason #IndusRiver #JhelumRiver #WaterShortage #CrossBorderTensions #Geopolitics #IndiaNews #PakistanNews #ClimateCrisis #SouthAsiaCrisis #BreakingNews ~HT.318~GR.122~
