A seminar held by the Pakistan Institute for International Studies (PIIA) read a research paper on the conflict between Pakistan and India.
Researcher Mohammad Usman said that if India stops water flow to Pakistan there is a risk of flooding its own upper regions.
“But if they shut our water down during dry seasons, it can be a concern for us as the water flow is low and storage is the most important thing.
Researchers said that even if India blocks water, it would require a critical infrastructure that would take years to build.
He said that in Pakistan and India, Pakistan is the lower part of the riverbank state and India is the riverbank state. However, in the case of China and India, China is the upper state on the riverbank, and India is the riverbank state. “This is especially true in Brahmaputra, where China can block India’s water,” he pointed out. PIIA Chairman Dr Masma Hasan emphasized the need to hear a variety of voices, especially the youth, regarding the recent conflict.
Tensions between India and Pakistan escalated after the attack on Pahargam on April 22nd, claiming 26 lives.
India carried out a precision strike early on May 7 as part of Operation Sindoah on Kashmir’s terror infrastructure, occupied by Pakistan and Pakistan.
Pakistan’s attempts to attack Indian military bases on May 8, 9 and 10 were followed. India responded strongly to Pakistan’s actions.
The ground hostilities ended with the understanding that they would halt military action following a meeting with the military operations chiefs on May 10th.
