NEW DELHI: According to The News, which cited Indian media on Monday, India has limited the flow of water from the Baglihar Dam on the Chenab River and is also thinking of doing the same at the Kishanganga Dam on the Jhelum River.

Following the deaths of 26 persons, primarily tourists, in Pahalgam, Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), on April 22, India decided to halt the decades-old treaty.
