Afghanistan Water Strike Pakistan: तालिबान के फैसले से पानी बिन तड़पने लगा पाकिस्तान, मची चीख पुकार!
Afghanistan Water Strike on Pakistan: अफगानिस्तान के फैसले से पानी बिन तड़पने लगा पाकिस्तान, मची चीख पुकार! | Afghanistan Rivers The phrase "Afghanistan Water Strike on Pakistan" refers to a dramatic escalation in the long-simmering water dispute between the two neighbors, where Taliban-ruled Afghanistan has ordered the immediate construction of dams on the Kunar River to restrict water flow into Pakistan. This move, announced on October 24, 2025, is framed by Afghan officials as a sovereign assertion of water rights but is widely seen as retaliation for recent deadly border clashes and airstrikes. It mirrors India's earlier suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty in April 2025 following a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which killed 26 civilians allegedly linked to Pakistan-based groups. Pakistan, already grappling with severe water scarcity, now faces a potential "two-front water war" from upstream neighbors India and Afghanistan. Afghanistan and Pakistan share no formal water-sharing agreement, unlike the India-Pakistan Indus Waters Treaty (1960). The Kunar River originates in Afghanistan's Hindu Kush mountains, flows through Kunar and Nangarhar provinces, and enters Pakistan as the Chitral River in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. It joins the Kabul River, which contributes about 12-13% of the Indus River Basin's flow—critical for irrigating millions of acres in Pakistan's Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces. Pakistan's per capita water availability has already dropped below 1,000 cubic meters annually (absolute scarcity threshold), with a 30% national deficit exacerbated by climate change and overuse. Since the Taliban's 2021 takeover, Afghanistan has prioritized hydropower and irrigation projects to address domestic droughts and energy shortages. Earlier proposals, like the Indian-funded Shahtoot Dam (2018-2019), raised alarms in Pakistan over potential flow reductions. Tensions boiled over in 2025 amid broader military clashes. #Afghanistan #Pakistan #kabulriver #induswaterstreaty #latestnews #breakingnews For all the latest news from Madhya Pradesh and Chattisgarh, keep watching News18 Madhya Pradesh Chattisgarh LIVE TV on YouTube. #mp #madhyapradeshnewslive Get all the updates on Political News in the following playlist. • Video (Please Subscribe To News18 MP CG LIVE TV on YouTube For all the Latest Updates) About: News18 MP Chhattisgarh is an exclusive news channel on YouTube which streams news related to MP, Chhattisgarh, Nation, and The World.
