Srinagar, May 25 (way2newstv.com)
Pakistan has repeatedly complained to the World Bank against the Kishanganga project, which was built on India's Sindu River. Once the Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched this hydroelectric center, the Pakistani complaint once again did not respond very well. The deeply disappointed Pakistani media has made sensational allegations against the World Bank. The bank accused India of lobbying in the South Asian section. The Pakistani magazine Express Tribune reported the reason why the World Bank did not respond despite repeated claims that India was building a hydroelectric power station in Kishanganga in violation of the 1967 Sindhu River Water Treaty. The Pakistani delegates discussed the matter with the World Bank for two days. The World Bank made a statement Wednesday after the talks. India and Pakistan have no power to review waterlogging and there are a number of policy organizations to resolve this dispute. The Indus Water Treaty has made it clear that the deal would have a limiting role in solving water disputes between India and Pakistan. The Indian media was deeply dissatisfied and commented that India was deeply influenced by the World Bank. In addition, the governments have focused on growing Indian influence in international financial institutions over the past few years.
PAKISTAN BROKE DOWN WITH INDIA BLOW
India is building a hydroelectric center with the help of World Bank in Kishangala. This project will reduce the availability of water in the Sindhu River and it would have an impact on the agricultural sector in the country. India, however, denies that there is no truth in Pak's arguments. A group of four delegates led by Pak Attorney General Astar Asaf Ali discussed the issue with the World Bank officials on Monday. By Kishanganga, 330 MW will be generated by Rattle to 850 MW. These two dams were built on Jhelum and Chenab tributaries. Pak approached the International Court of Justice immediately after the construction of hydroelectric power projects in Kishanganga. Construction work has been stalled for three years. But in 2013 the international court ruled in favor of India. It is clear that it is part of the Indus Water Treaty. According to this, India has the right to build hydroelectric center. Also, according to World Bank Agreement, India is likely to build dams on those rivers. The World Bank said it will build projects on Bharat Jhelum and Chenab sub rivers.
