New Delhi – India will ensure that no water from the Indus River is wasted or allowed to flow into Pakistan, the Government said on Friday. It announced plans on three fronts — short- term, mid-term, and long-term — to prevent the river’s water from reaching Pakistan. The move came after India decided to suspend the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty, in response to the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam carried out by Pakistan-based terrorists . Jal Shakti Minister CR Patil said arrangements will be made to ensure not a single drop of water is wasted. According to sources, the capacity of dams along the Indus basin rivers will be increased to store more water. In this regard, the Union Ministry of Water Supply also organised a meeting at the residence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

As far as Jammu and Kashmir is concerned, we have never been in favour of the Indus Water Treaty. We have always believed that the Indus Water Treaty has been the most unfair document to the people of J-K.”
