Mon May 05 09:26:48 UTC 2025: ## India Boosts Dam Capacity After Indus Waters Treaty Suspension
**Srinagar, India** – Eleven days after suspending parts of the Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan, India has begun increasing reservoir storage capacity at two hydroelectric projects in Jammu and Kashmir. The move, announced today, is seen as a further escalation of tensions between the two countries following the recent Pahalgam terror attack. The initial suspension of the treaty was presented as a retaliatory measure. While details regarding the specific projects and the extent of the capacity increase remain limited, the action signals a potential shift in India’s water management strategy along the Indus River. The long-term implications of this move and its impact on water sharing remain unclear.
