Double Blow: India, Taliban Threaten Pakistan's Water Security

• India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty after terror attacks; PM Modi stated "blood and water cannot flow together."
• Afghan Taliban approved a plan to build a dam and divert water from the Kunar River, despite Islamabad's concerns.
• The Kunar River is vital for Pakistan's agriculture, drinking water, and power in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and downstream areas.
• Taliban's project will divert Kunar River water to the Duranti Dam, severely impacting Pakistan's water flow.
• Taliban dismisses Pakistan's objections, citing sovereign right; Afghanistan-Pakistan relations are deteriorating.

Why It Matters: Pakistan faces a severe water crisis from both India's treaty suspension and Taliban's dam project.
