India has halted water flow through the Baglihar Dam on the Chenab River following the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan, in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians. Reports suggest similar action is being considered at the Kishanganga Dam on the Jhelum River. Officials say sluice gates at Baglihar were lowered as a short-term punitive measure, signaling India’s readiness for coercive steps. Tensions have risen with repeated ceasefire violations by Pakistan and its missile tests. India has also imposed economic and transport bans on Pakistan, intensifying diplomatic pressure after the deadly attack. (PC: Reuters)
