For the third night in a row … the exchange of fires between India and Pakistan
Panic in Pakistan after India has committed itself to cutting the water supply after the Kashmir attack
The Pakistani farmer Humla has sprayed pesticides on his dry vegetables, a road away from the Sind river, but is worried about the future, the sun is at its peak and the affiliate of the river in a strong drop and India undertakes to cut the stocks from the source, after an armed attack that was killed in Kashmir.
The Thakhour farm, which has an area of about 5 acres, is located in the Latif Abad area, in the southern province of Sind, where the Sind river flows towards the Arabic Sea, after it manifests itself in Tibet and crosses India.
More than 15 Pakistani farms and many other experts have expressed their concerns, above all because the rains have been rare in recent years.
For the first time, India suspended on Wednesday on Wednesday water on Wednesday, in which the World Bank has mediated, which guarantees water to about 80 % of the Pakistani farms, stating that this comment will remain valid until “Pakistan is reliable and irreversibly abandoned its support for terrorism through the edges”, according to the Reuters press agency.
India says that two of the three militants who attacked tourists and killed 26 people in Kashmir were from Pakistan. Islamabad denied his involvement on the subject and said that “any attempt to stop, or to transform the water flow of Pakistan … it will be a war work”.
The Treaty led to the division of the Sindh river and its tributaries between the two competing nuclear armed countries.
Government officials and experts of both sides say that India cannot immediately stop the flow of water, because the treaty has allowed it to build only hydroelectric power plants without a large conservation or dams on the three rivers assigned to Pakistan. But things can start to change within a few months.
“We will work to ensure that no drop in the water from the Sindi river arrivals in Pakistan,” said the Minister of Indian water resources Chandrantht Ragonath Patel in the press declarations.
He did not answer questions about the fears in Pakistan.
Two officials of the Indian government, who refused to reveal their identity due to the discussion of a delicate issue, said that the country could start within months to convert water to its farms using channels, while they intended to build hydroelectric dams that could require between 4 and 7 years.
Kochsfinder Fahra, head of the Indian central waters committee, who has recently withdrawn, said India will immediately stop the exchange of data such as water flows in various places of rivers that flow throughout India and refrain from releasing warnings from floods and annual meetings within the framework of the Permanent Committee of the Sind river led by an official from each of the two countries.
“They will not have much information on the date of the arrival of the water or on the amount of water that will arrive,” said Fahra, who was also the commissioner of the Sind river in India, and now provides advice to the government from time to time.
He continued, “without information, they cannot plan”.
Not only agriculture, but the lack of water will also influence the generation of electricity and the economists have said that this can lead to the paralysis of the economy.
Wagar Ahmed, economist and head of the work team of the British “Mandamant of Oxford”, said that Pakistan has reduced the threat of the collection of India from the Treaty.
He added that “India does not have the necessary infrastructures to stop water flows, especially during flood periods, therefore this period offers a decisive opportunity to Pakistan, to face its inefficiency in its water sector.
Operational disputes
In recent years, the government of the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has tried to reintegrate the treaty and the two countries have tried to resolve some of their differences in the permanent court of arbitration in the Hague for the dimensions of the water storage area in the two Keisknjeja and the stations of law.
“Now we can follow our projects with our free will,” said Fawhara.
On Thursday, in a message, India informed Pakistan that the conditions have changed from the signature of the treaty, including the increase in the population and the need for multiple sources of clean energy, in reference to electricity.
A spokesman for the World Bank said that the bank “signed the treaty for a limited group of specific tasks” and that “does not show its opinion on the sovereign decisions relating to the treatise taken by the Member States”.
Nadim Shah, who has a 150 acres farm in the bond, said in which cotton, sugar cane, wheat and vegetables are also sown which is also worried about drinking water.
“We have confidence in God, but there are concerns about the actions of India,” he said.
The three rivers assigned to Pakistan, a country with a population of 240 million people, tell over 16 million hectares of agricultural land, or up to 80 % of the total agricultural land.
