In a powerful response to the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam that claimed 26 lives, India has escalated its diplomatic and strategic actions against Pakistan. As part of suspending cooperation under the Indus Waters Treaty, India has blocked the flow of water from the Chenab River by shutting the gates of the Salal and Baglihar dams.
