Kishenganga

A delegation from India attended a meeting of the Neutral Expert proceedings in the Kishenganga and Ratle matter at the Permanent Court of Arbitration in Vienna on September 20 and 21, the Ministry of External Affairs announced in a press release.

India on Thursday questioned the World Bank's decision to appoint a Court of Arbitration and a neutral expert under two separate processes to resolve differences between New Delhi and Islamabad over the Kishenganga and Ratle hydroelectric projects.

India on Wednesday said it has noted the World Bank's announcement to concurrently appoint a neutral expert and a chair of the Court of Arbitration in the matter relating to the Kishenganga and Ratle hydroelectric power projects.

Three days after the body of an eight-year-old boy from Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) was pulled out of the Kishenganga River in Jammu and Kashmir's Gurez sector, the army on Thursdayhanded over the body to the Pakistan army.

The APMCC, an organisation representing displaced Kashmiri Hindus, has begun a "Kalash Yatra" to the banks of the Kishenganga river in Teetwal village of Kashmir, to pray for the reopening of the Sharda temple in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

The 300 MegaWatt Kishenganga hydroelectric power project, executed by NHPC, is likely to be commissioned this year and it will go a long way in augmenting the power generation capacity, Deputy Chief Minister Nirmal Kumar Singh said.

India today asked the World Bank not to rush in to broker a deal on its dispute with Pakistan over Kishenganga and Ratle project, asserting that the differences can be resolved bilaterally or through a neutral expert.

Pakistan has asked the World Bank to "fulfil its obligations" regarding the Indus Waters Treaty as it objected to the body pausing two concurrent processes related to Indo-Pak dispute over Kishenganga and Ratle project.

In a significant development, the World Bank has paused the separate processes initiated by India and Pakistan under the Indus Waters Treaty to allow the two countries to consider alternative ways to resolve their disagreements.

India has taken strong exception to what it calls the World Bank's "inexplicable" decision to set up a Court of Arbitration and also appoint a neutral expert to examine Pakistan's complaint on two hydroelectric projects as part of a larger row over the Indus Waters Treaty.

India today said Pakistan was violating the Indus Waters Treaty by deciding to move the Court of Arbitration over construction of two dams.

In a major relief for India, The Hague-based International Court of Arbitration has rejected Pakistan's objections by upholding New Delhi's right to divert water from the Kishenganga river for power generation in Jammu and Kashmir.

The International Court of Arbitration at the Hague has upheld India's right to divert water from the Rs. 3600-crore Kishenganga Hydro-electric Project (KHEP) in north Kashmir today.

India can "continue with all works" related to the Kishenganga Hydro-Electric project in Jammu and Kashmir except any permanent work on the riverbed that may inhibit restoration of the river's full flow, the International Court of Arbitration has said.

In the high Himalayan Kashmir valley, the latest battle line between India and Pakistan  has been drawn. This time it is not the ground underfoot, which has been disputed since the bloody partition of British India in 1947, but the water hurtling from mountain glaciers to parched farmers' fields in Pakistan's agricultural heartland.Indian work...
