Pakistan Accuses India of Blocking Jhelum Water Amidst IWT Tensions

• Pakistan claims India is blocking Jhelum water, citing "unusual decline" in Jhelum and Chenab rivers, impacting agriculture and food security for 240 million.
• Pakistani officials allege India is abruptly holding back and releasing water, pointing to data from Kerot Hydropower Project and satellite imagery of Baglihar Dam.
• The accusation follows India's suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) after the Pahalgam terror attack, which Pakistan called an "act of war."
• India has not yet responded to Pakistan's letters, and there is no concrete evidence of deliberate water blockage.
• Experts suggest river flow variations are normal due to seasonal changes, snowmelt, rainfall, and dam operations, not necessarily deliberate action.

Why It Matters: Pakistan accuses India of blocking Jhelum water, but India hasn't responded, and experts cite natural flow variations.
