World Bank allows India to construct controversial dams on Pakistani waters

[Kabira]

The World Bank has allowed India to move ahead with two hydroelectric power facilities on tributaries of the Jhelum and Chenab rivers, a decision taken at the conclusion of secretary-level talks between Pakistan and India on Indus Water Treaty.

World Bank, which brokered the 1960 water treaty between the two nuclear-armed neighbours, said New Delhi is allowed to construct Kishanganga and Ratle dams with certain restrictions under the treaty.

"The decision was taken in light of the reservations put forth by the Pakistani delegation," the world lender said in a fact sheet.

"Among other uses, India is permitted to construct hydroelectric power facilities on these rivers subject to constraints specified in annexures to the treaty."

Falls nicely in with India's plans to maximise its allotocation of water under IWT that had long been under-utilised.

WB works here as a broker as per IWT.Other than WB has no role or say in it.It's 100% India-Pakistan thing.I am sure both sides had pressed it's logic & WB gave justifiable solution.
India is just using own share of water.No more & no less.
Also your govt had been incompetent in making dams.Share your blame on them too.
