Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khwaja Asif has said that his country will defeat India in water war. Talking to the media on Saturday, Asif said- the water flow in the Chenab river is much less than normal, India is deliberately controlling it.
Asif claimed that India had lost in conventional war, and now we will also beat him in water war. He also dismissed rumors, stating that there is a secret talks between India and Pakistan.
21% water shortage in Pakistan’s rivers
Pakistan’s Indus River System Authority (IRSA) stated in its report a week ago that the flow of Indus, Jhelum and Chenab rivers in the country has decreased by 21%. Mangala and Turbella, the major dam located in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa state, have less than 50% water left.
According to IRSA, on 2 June 2025, the total water availability in Punjab was just 1,28,800 cusecs, which is 14,800 cusecs less than the previous year.
At the same time, according to the Government of Pakistan, by 2 June 2025, the availability of water in the Indus river system in Punjab province has reduced by 10.3% over the previous year.
Officials say that after the Sindhu water treaty is postponed, India will no longer share the water flow data with Pakistan. This will also make flood management difficult during the rainy season.
Tarabela Dam: It is located on the Indus River in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. It is the largest dam in Pakistan and is used for electricity generation as well as irrigation and flood control.
Mangala Dam: It is on the Swat River in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. This dam is designed for power generation and irrigation.
It will take 3 weeks to reach monsoon in Pakistan
There has been an anti -cyclone over Pakistan. Because of this, many areas are struggling with scorching heat. Many areas of Balochistan are getting 16 hours of power cuts, due to which it has become difficult to cut the heat.
Currently, it will take 3 weeks for the southwest monsoon to reach Pakistan, so the coming weeks can be more difficult.
Demand to restore Indus Water Treaty from India
Pakistan, who is struggling with water scarcity, has demanded India to restore the Indus Water Treaty. According to media reports, Islamabad has sent 4 letters to reconsider the decision from India.
According to reports, Syed Ali Murtaza, secretary of Pakistan’s Water Resources Ministry, sent these four letters to the Ministry of Water Power of India, which was then sent to the Ministry of External Affairs.
India suspended the treaty in April after a terrorist attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, killing 26 Indian tourists. After this, India attacked the hideouts of terrorists in Pakistan and Pakistan occupied Kashmir by running Operation Sindoor.
India has also made it clear that this treaty will remain suspended until Pakistan ends terrorism completely and confidently. The Cabinet Security Committee of the Government of India (CCS) has also approved this decision.
India had stopped Indus Water Agreement after the Pahalgam attack
On April 22, 26 tourists were shot dead by 5 terrorists in Pahalgam, Kashmir. The next day, India took 5 major decisions to teach Pakistan a lesson in a meeting chaired by PM Narendra Modi.
In this, the 65 -year -old Indus Water Treaty was stopped. Attari check post was closed. The visa was closed and the High Commissioners were removed.
After this, on 7 May, India ruined several terrorist bases in Pakistan under ‘Operation Sindoor’ by air strikes. The two countries had a struggle for 4 days, after which US President Trump gave information about the ceasefire on May 10 through social media posts.
Postponement of Indus Water Agreement affects Pakistan
- In Pakistan, 90% of the land of farming i.e. 4.7 crore acres of water is found from the Indus river system for irrigation. Agriculture sector holds 23% in the national income of Pakistan and 68% of rural Pakistanis live in livelihood. In such a situation, there may be a worse economy along with the common people in Pakistan.
- Pakistan’s Mars and Tarbella Hydropower Dam will not get water. This can reduce Pakistan’s power generation by 30% to 50%. Also, industrial production and employment will be affected.
