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~

Pakistan’s repeated threats over the Indus Waters Treaty appear to have little effect, as India remains firm on its stance. Despite Shehbaz Sharif’s push for treaty resumption following visits by Asim Munir and Bilawal Bhutto, Delhi signals strong diplomatic and strategic resolve, leaving Pakistan’s posturing largely ineffective. #ShehbazSharif #IndusWatersTreaty #PakistanThreat #IndiaPakistanTensions #IndusTreatyDispute #ShehbazSharifWarning #PakistanPushIndia #IndusWaterConflict #IndiaStrongStance #PakistanDiplomacy #WaterDispute #IndusRiverTreaty #PakIndiaRelations #ShehbazSharifNews #IndusTreatyUpdate Also Read Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif Says Pahalgam Attack Happened Because Of Destabilisation In Kashmir :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-pm-shehbaz-sharif-says-pahalgam-attack-happened-because-of-destabilisation-in-kashmir-7792351.html?ref=DMDesc Did Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif Say ‘I Condom’ While Reacting to Israel-Iran Conflict?

Pakistan Monsoon: 200 Dead, 560+ Injured As Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh Crumble Under Rains

Pakistan is reeling from an unforgiving monsoon season that has claimed over 200 lives and left more than 560 injured, including 182 children. Punjab has borne the brunt with 123 deaths, followed by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with 40, Sindh with 21, and others scattered across Balochistan, Islamabad, and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The deaths resulted from collapsing homes, flash floods, lightning, landslides, and electrocution. Rawalpindi was engulfed in chaos as flash floods submerged entire neighborhoods. Faisalabad also suffered heavy damage with 11 deaths in just 2 days. Infrastructure has crumbled — roads washed away in Chakwal, power supplies snapped, and communication lines destroyed. The UN warns of possible glacier lake outburst floods in the north. As the crisis unfolds, it’s a grim reminder of Pakistan’s growing climate vulnerability, just as in 2022 when floods killed over 1,700 and caused $40 billion in damage. #PakistanFloods #MonsoonDisaster #PunjabFloods #KhyberPakhtunkhwa #SindhRains #FlashFloods #ClimateCrisis #PakistanMonsoon #BalochistanFloods #IslamabadRains #POKRains #NDMA #FloodEmergency #RawalpindiFlood #FaisalabadTragedy #PakistanUnderWater #RainDisaster #UNWarning #GlacierFloods #WeatherAlert
