After the Pahalgam terror attack and India’s counter-operation, the situation between India and Pakistan has become very stressful. Now this confrontation is visible in the military front as well as other areas. Today on Saturday morning, 5 gates of Salal Dam on the Chenab river in Reasi district of Jammu and Kashmir were opened, due to which the flow of water towards Pakistan has intensified.
According to the agency, tension on the border between India and Pakistan has reached its peak. After the death of 26 people in an attack in Pahalgam by terrorists, India took a tough stance and attacked missiles at 9 terrorist bases in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK) under ‘Operation Sindoor’. After this retaliation, there is an uproar in Pakistan.
Meanwhile, 5 gates of Salal Dam built on Chenab river were opened in Reasi district of Jammu and Kashmir at 6:15 am today. Due to this, the flow of water flowing towards Pakistan has become very fast. Earlier, India had closed the gates of Salal and Bagalihar Dam to prevent the water flow leading to Pakistan, causing the water level of Chenab to 2-3 feet in Pakistan. Now the gates have been opened after heavy rains and dam water levels are high.
Experts believe that Pakistan has been given a clear indication that India can now take a tough decision on the Indus Water Treaty. Explain that in 1960, the Indus Water Treaty was signed between India and Pakistan, in which India got the rights over the Sutlej, Ravi and Beas rivers, while the Indus, Jhelum and Chenab rivers were empowered to Pakistan. The treaty was done in the mediation of the World Bank, but in view of the current situation, India is moving towards reviewing this treaty.
At the same time, Pakistan also tried to target India’s military bases, including drones and missile attacks. However, all these attacks were thwarted by the preparations of the Indian Army and the promptness of the air defense system.
