India’s Water Diversion Seen as Act of War

Pakistan’s Indus Waters Commissioner issued a strong warning on Thursday. He said diverting river water would be treated as an act of war.

Moreover, Commissioner Syed Muhammad Mehar Ali Shah addressed the situation in Islamabad. He stressed that Pakistan is closely watching all developments.

Meanwhile, he said authorities are monitoring water flows using satellite technology. This system helps detect any unusual changes in river patterns.

Additionally, he accused India of repeatedly violating the Indus Waters Treaty. He said such actions threaten regional stability and trust.

Furthermore, Shah said India has not shared details of its Chenab River project. Under the treaty, India must provide complete project information to Pakistan.
