The water level in the Chenab River has significantly increased at Head Marala after India released water from the Baglihar Dam. This development comes just days after India was accused of water aggression for previously halting the river flow. According to the Irrigation Department, the Chenab River is now receiving an inflow of 40,710 cusecs, while the outflow has been recorded at 23,810 cusecs. Authorities confirmed a noticeable rise in water levels and warned of possible downstream impacts. Earlier this month, India had blocked the river’s flow on May 4, drawing sharp criticism from Pakistan. Officials described the move as a violation of water-sharing norms and accused India of “water terrorism.” However, due to intense water pressure buildup at the dam, Indian authorities were forced to release water on May 8. The sudden release eased the pressure but led to a rapid rise in river levels on the Pakistani side. The Irrigation Department continues to monitor the situation closely and has advised residents in low-lying areas to stay alert. They also stated that the water flow is being managed to avoid any immediate risk of flooding. This incident once again highlights ongoing water disputes between India and Pakistan. Despite the Indus Waters Treaty, tensions remain high, especially during periods of political or military strain between the two nations.
