India Cuts Chenab Flow | Dam Gates Shut After Pahalgam Attack | Pakistan Runs Dry

In a bold move following the Pahalgam terror attack, India has shut the sluice gates of the Baglihar and Salal dams, drastically reducing the Chenab River's flow into Pakistan. For the first time in years, the water level in Akhnoor, J&K, dropped below waist level, exposing the riverbed and drawing crowds. The dam closures, officially part of a desiltation routine, come just days after the Centre announced the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, signaling a tougher stance on cross-border terrorism. Locals have welcomed the move, calling it a fitting response and demanding even stronger water-based retaliation.
