Pakistan Faces Severe Water Crisis As Indus Waters Treaty Still In Abeyance | Punjab Hit Hardest

Pakistan is staring at a water disaster as India holds the Indus Waters Treaty of 1960 in abeyance.

The flow of water from rivers like Chenab and Jhelum has plummeted, with Punjab province the worst affected.

Water availability in the Indus system is down by over 10%, raising alarm for the approaching kharif season.

Pakistan's key dams—Tarbela and Mangla—are also below optimal levels.

The crisis follows India’s suspension of the treaty after the Pahalgam terror attack, and Pakistan has warned that blocking water flow could be considered an "act of war." #PakistanWaterCrisis #IndusWatersTreaty #IndiaPakistan #PunjabDrought #ChenabRiver #IRSA #WaterWar #TarbelaDam #ManglaDam #KharifSeason #IndusRiver #JhelumRiver #WaterShortage #CrossBorderTensions #Geopolitics #IndiaNews #PakistanNews #ClimateCrisis #SouthAsiaCrisis #BreakingNews ~HT.318~GR.122~

ā€˜Hamas Must Disarm First’: U.S Lone Veto Shatters UN Gaza Ceasefire Vote; Hamas Fires Back at Trump

The United States cast the lone veto at the UN Security Council, crushing a widely supported resolution demanding an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza. Citing Hamas’ refusal to disarm and vacate Gaza, Acting U.S. Ambassador to the UN Dorothy Shea declared that peace is impossible while a ā€œterrorist group holds territory hostage.ā€ The vote—14 to 1—left the U.S. isolated as humanitarian conditions in Gaza spiral into catastrophe. Within hours, Hamas fired back, condemning the U.S. stance and issuing a fiery statement targeting President Trump, accusing Washington of enabling "massacres and occupation." #CeasefireNow #GazaCeasefire #USVeto #UNCeasefireVote #GazaCrisis #CeasefireResolution #USBlocksPeace #UNSCVote #USVetoesCeasefire #GazaUnderAttack #CeasefireDebate #USvsUN #GazaWar #UNResolution #StopTheWar Also Read In Qatar, Donald Trump Once Again Claims He 'Helped Settle' India, Pakistan Tensions :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/in-qatar-donald-trump-once-again-claims-he-helped-settle-india-pakistan-tensions-4154237.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan Rejects PM Modi's Remarks On Operation Sindoor, Calls It 'Provocative, Inflammatory Assertions' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-rejects-pm-modis-remarks-on-operation-sindoor-calls-it-provocative-inflammatory-asserti-4153615.html?ref=DMDesc IndiGo, Air India Cancel Flights To 7 Border Cities Amid India-Pakistan Tensions Despite Ceasefire :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/indigo-air-india-cancel-flights-to-7-border-cities-amid-india-pakistan-tensions-despite-ceasefire-4151761.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~PR.152~ED.103~GR.122~

Pakistan Accuses India Of 'Flood Retaliation' As Jhelum's Sharp Water Rise Creates Panic in POK

Pakistani media outlets claim India released water into the Jhelum River without prior notice, causing sudden flooding near Chakothi in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Panic spread among residents along the riverbanks. Pakistani authorities issued warnings, linking the incident to India's response to the recent terror attack in Pahalgam. Following the attack, Indian PM Modi vowed justice and suspended the Indus Water Treaty. Pakistani media alleges the water release escalates regional tensions, while Indian officials have not commented, leaving Islamabad’s accusations hanging. #India #Pakistan #JhelumRiver #WaterWar #IndusWaterTreaty #Modi #PahalgamAttack #FloodAlert #PakistanMedia #KashmirTensions #CrossBorderTensions #IndiaPakistanNews #JammuAndKashmir #PakistaniClaims #WaterCrisis #Geopolitics #BreakingNews #ChakothiFlood #IndusRiverSystem #TerrorAttack #ModiSpeech #IndiaNews #PakistanNews #SouthAsia #FloodWarning #WaterPolitics #TensionsRise #RiverDispute #DiplomaticCrisis #PahalgamTerrorAttack Also Read Pakistani Official Sparks Outrage With 'Throat-Slitting' Gesture At Indian Protesters In London | WATCH :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistani-official-sparks-outrage-with-throat-slitting-gesture-at-protest-by-indians-in-london-w-4135931.html?ref=DMDesc Omar Casts Aspersions On Pakistan's Offer To Join 'Neutral' Probe Into Pahalgam Killings: 'Difficult To...' :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/omar-casts-aspersions-on-pakistans-offer-to-join-neutral-probe-into-pahalgam-killings-difficult-4135775.html?ref=DMDesc Bilawal Bhutto Threatens India Over Scrapping Indus Water Treaty: 'Either Our Water Will Flow, Or Their Blood' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/bilawal-bhutto-threatens-india-over-scrapping-indus-water-treaty-either-our-water-will-flow-or-th-4135561.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.336~GR.124~

'No water for Terror' - India Blocks Chenab River Flow to Pakistan after Pahalgam Attack, Dams Shut

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. Reports from Pakistan show the riverbed of Chenab drying up in several regions. #IndiaPakistan #ChenabRiver #IndusWatersTreaty #PahalgamAttack #ModiGovernment #WaterDiplomacy #BagliharDam #SalalDam #IndiaStrikesBack #Geopolitics #NationalSecurity #NoWaterForTerror Also Read India Begins Work On Hydroelectric Projects In Kashmir Amid Indus Treaty Suspension With Pakistan: Reports :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-begins-work-on-hydroelectric-projects-in-kashmir-amid-indus-treaty-suspension-with-pakistan-r-4143719.html?ref=DMDesc Bilawal Bhutto Threatens India Over Scrapping Indus Water Treaty: 'Either Our Water Will Flow, Or Their Blood' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/bilawal-bhutto-threatens-india-over-scrapping-indus-water-treaty-either-our-water-will-flow-or-th-4135561.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan Will Give Befitting Response To Any Misadventure: Islamabad On India Suspending Indus Water Treaty :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-will-give-befitting-response-to-any-misadventure-islamabad-on-india-suspending-indus-water-4133169.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.274~HT.408~

Bhutto FACT-CHECKED at UN Over 'Muslim Vilification' Lie | Journalist EXPOSES Anti-India Claim

Pakistan's Bilawal Bhutto Zardari faced an awkward moment at a UN press briefing after a journalist fact-checked his claim that India was "demonising Muslims" following the Pahalgam terror attack. Bhutto alleged India was politicising the tragedy to vilify Muslims, but the journalist countered with firsthand experience, highlighting Muslim officers leading Indian Army briefings. Bhutto, visibly unsettled, admitted, "You're absolutely right." The episode casts doubt on Pakistan’s narrative as Bhutto leads a diplomatic team to counter India’s global stance post-Operation Sindoor. #BilawalBhutto #UNPressBriefing #IndiaPakistan #OperationSindoor #FactCheck #PahalgamAttack #IndianArmy #PakClaims #IndianMuslims #ColSofiyaQureshi #VyomikaSingh #KashmirIssue #Terrorism #IslamabadDiplomacy #UNNews #GlobalPolitics #PakNarrative #IndiaDefense #IndianMuslimOfficers #PakistanUN #JournalistFactCheck #SouthAsiaNews #BustedAtUN #BhuttoEmbarrassed #KashmirTensions #IndiaPakistanTensions #PPP #BilawalAtUN #BreakingNews #IndiaNarrative #TruthAtUN Also Read Bilawal Bhutto Admits UN Hurdles On Kashmir As Pakistan, India Launch Parallel Diplomacy In US :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/bilawal-bhutto-admits-un-hurdles-on-kashmir-as-pakistan-india-launch-parallel-diplomacy-in-us-4171933.html?ref=DMDesc Team Shashi Tharoor, Bilawal Bhutto To Jostle In US This Week As India And Pakistan Step Up Diplomatic Push :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/team-shashi-tharoor-bilawal-bhutto-to-jostle-in-us-this-week-as-india-and-pakistan-step-up-diplomat-4170769.html?ref=DMDesc United Nations Under-Secretary-General For Peace Operations Praises India :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/united-nations-under-secretary-general-for-peace-operations-praises-india-4168359.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.346~HT.408~GR.125~
