India said to have cut water flow to Pakistan – media

India has begun restricting water supplies flowing from its territory to neighboring Pakistan, with more similar measures to come, the PTI news agency has claimed, citing an anonymous source.

The two nuclear powers have been teetering on the brink of war since a deadly terrorist attack in India’s Jammu and Kashmir on April 22 claimed the lives of 26 people, mainly tourists. New Delhi has accused Islamabad of aiding and abetting cross-border militant incursions and suspended the key water-sharing Indus Waters Treaty shortly thereafter. Islamabad denied the allegations.

On Sunday, India’s largest news agency, the PTI, quoted the unnamed source “familiar with the matter” as saying that the country had blocked the flow of water through the Baglihar Dam on the Chenab River, and is planning to do the same at the Kishanganga Dam on the Jhelum River in the north of India-administered Jammu and Kashmir region.
