ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has expressed serious concerns about Saturday’s inauguration by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi of the Kishanganga Hydroelectric Project (KHEP) in Indian-administered Kashmir.
The inauguration is a “violation of the Indus Waters Treaty” that regulates the sharing of the river’s water, said Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry.
“Despite several rounds of bilateral negotiations and mediations under the auspices of the World Bank, India continued with the construction of the project. This intransigence… clearly threatens the sanctity of the treaty.”
As the treaty’s custodian, the World Bank must urge India to address Pakistan’s reservations about the KHEP, the ministry added.
