India lacks technical competence to block Pakistan's water flow: Experts
Shares
ISLAMABAD: (APP) Former Indus Water Commissioner Jamat Ali Shah has said that India has no technical capability to block Pakistan's water flow.
Talking to private news channel, he said India will have to start new projects to create possibility of water blockade that will take maximum 8-10 years from now.
Terming this attitude as an "open economic terrorism", former commissioner expressed concern that if the Indus Water Treaty ended then neighboring arch-rival may build up dams on Jhelum and Chenab rivers.
He said even if India builds dams on Jhelum and Chenab, the water flowing into Pakistan would not be completely blocked.
Jamat Ali Shah emphasized that Pakistan should take up the matter with international organizations and ask them to prevent India from doing so.
Earlier, Indian premier reviewed provisions of the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan, reported Indian media. He, along with government officials, evaluated the pros and cons of the treaty signed in 1960.
