I can’t believe I am seeing a positive news related to Pakistan

Incorrect reporting ET. ICA imposed a temporary injunction in the form of stay order. It did not rule in favour of Pakistan yet. The stay has been granted so that the court can reach to a conclusion and pass a verdict accordingly.

The construction of dam will save Pakistan from flood at the same time it will enable India to release the water share of Pakistan during lean season . So whats the problem ?

Recommend

upon approval of the then prime minister, Yousaf Raza Gilani, Pakistan had challenged the project in the ICA why the MUSHARRAF’s govt did not go to ICA???

India has been storing water from Kashmiri rivers and also disturbing the flow of water to Pakistan. India is a criminal.

This is an old news and order is interim order a standard practice in any arbitration case.”Hague Court asks India to stop Kishanganga project

ISLAMABAD: The Court of Arbitration in The Hague has accepted Pakistan’s application and has stopped India from constructing any permanent works on or above the Kishanganga/Neelum River bed at the Gurez site that may inhibit the restoration of the flow of the river to its natural channel.

The court, which was approached by Pakistan, also ordered that Pakistan and India arrange for periodic joint inspections of the dam site at Gurez in order to monitor the implementation of the Court’s Order. Pakistan had sought from the Court of Arbitration an immediate order against India for discontinuation, modification or dismantling of its Kishanganga Hydroelectric Power Project (KHEP).
“We had pleaded that India be asked to tell the court about any imminent and actual developments on the dam,” Kamal Majidullah, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Water Resources and Agriculture, told The News on Saturday. Giving details, he said the Pakistani team had moved a formal application for interim measures under the 1960 Water Treaty between the two countries.

“An order that any steps India has taken or may take in respect of the KHEP are taken at its own risk without prejudice to the possibility that the court may order that the works may not be continued, be modified or dismantled,” provided the application.

The plea said, “India be ordered to inform the court and Pakistan of any imminent and actual developments on the Kishanganga Dam that may adversely affect the restoring of the status quo ante or that may jeopardize Pakistan’s rights and interests under the Treaty.” The submissions also included “a stop work order” and any further relief the court considered necessary.”Recommend
