New Delhi
India unleashed its fury on Pakistan by releasing the flood waters of the Jhelum River which originates from Kashmir making the authorities in Pakistan occupied Kashmir to issue floor alarm and blocked the waters of Chenab from flowing towards Pakistan.
This will give the first glimpse of catastrophe that India could unleash on Pakistan if it doesn’t desist from sponsoring terrorism in J&K and rest of India.
The action follows the government announcing suspension of the Indus Water Treaty (IWT) as retaliation to Pakistan’s involvement in the massacre of 26 persons at Baisaran Valley in Pahalgam, Kashmir, on April 22.
Taking a harsh measure against Pakistan, New Delhi has also ordered scaling down of the staff at the Pakistani High Commission in New Delhi, cancellation of all visas issues to Pakistani citizens and closure of the Attari-Wagah border, Punjab.

Water Resources Minister C.R. Patil announced on Friday that India will now ensure that not a single drop of water from the Indus River reaches Pakistan. For this, short-term, medium and long-term strategies are being prepared, which include measures such as diverting the flow of the river and dredging. The minister said that "a high-level meeting was held in this regard under the chairmanship of Home Minister Amit Shah and a roadmap was prepared.", allegedly without warning. Muzafrabad in Pok flooded. This is just a glimpse!
The policy of regulating the River water to Pakistan as punishment for its unlenting support and sponsorship of terrorists for inflicting violence on India was enunciated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said at one of the official meetings after a terrorist strike in Kashmir that blood and water can't flow together.
