In what is being seen here as yet another attempt by Pakistan to whip up anti-India sentiment on water-related issues, reports emerging from Islamabad on Sunday said Pakistan has asked India not to fill water in the Nimoo Bazgo dam on the Indus river in Leh district of Jammu and Kashmir.
However, a top government official here said on Sunday that they were yet to receive any objection from the Pakistani authorities.
The dam, a 45 MW hydel project on the Indus, is covered by the Indus Waters Treaty of 1960 between the two countries. Pakistani authorities fear the dam will reduce water inflows into their country.
