💨 Abstract

Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan announced government plans to utilize water directed to Pakistan under the Indus Water Treaty for irrigation in bordering Indian states. This decision follows the suspension of the treaty after a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir. Chouhan criticized the treaty as a historic mistake, noting that 80% of waters from the Indus, Chenab, and Jhelum rivers flow to Pakistan.
