India has temporarily blocked the flow of water from the Baglihar dam on the Chenab River, escalating tensions with Pakistan after the deadly Pahalgam terror attack. The move, although within the limits of the Indus Waters Treaty, is seen as a warning to Islamabad. The Baglihar dam, a run-of-the-river hydro project in Jammu and Kashmir, cannot store water long-term but highlights India's shift in strategy. The government is reportedly considering similar actions at the Kishanganga project. Following the killing of 26 people in Pahalgam, India has pledged a strong response, blaming Pakistan-backed groups for the attack. (PC: NDTV)
