The media reported on the shortage of water in Pakistan due to the closure of the dam by India

India has suspended the flow of water through the Baglihar and Salal dams on the Chinab River, resulting in water shortages in Pakistan. This was reported on May 6 by the Times of India newspaper.

"Since Sunday, authorities have restricted flows through the Baglihar and Salal hydroelectric dams in Jammu on the Chenab River, which flows into Pakistan, which has led to an unprecedented drop in water levels," the material says.

The publication noted that this measure was due to the decision of the authorities to suspend the Indian Water Treaty after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam. According to the newspaper's source, India has closed all five main gates of the Baglihar Dam and the gates of the Salal dam downstream.
