Indus water treaty violations: legal options to be weighed up today [1]

An inter-departmental meeting is scheduled for Tuesday (today) in the Ministry of Water and Power to discuss legal options against India for violating the precept of the Indus water treaty by stopping Chenab water in August to fill Baglihar Dam, built in occupied Kashmir.

"We do not have any complaint against India at present as water is coming in accordance with historical trends. Basically, India had stopped water in the middle of August," said Jamat Ali Shah, Pakistan Commissioner for Indus Waters (PCIW) while talking to Business Recorder from Lahore.
