JAMMU, JULY 19: Lieutenant Governor Shri Manoj Sinha launched a monograph 'Indus Water Treaty-Mirroring the Facts' authored by Shri Sant Kumar Sharma, at Jammu today.

In his address, the Lieutenant Governor congratulated the author on his remarkable work to bring out various historical aspects of 'Indus Water Treaty'.

He said the thoughtful and timely monograph offers interesting insights on 'Indus Water Treaty’ with Pakistan and Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji's decisive move to terminate the treaty post Pakistan Sponsored Pahalgam Terror Attack.




“India has made it clear that blood and water cannot flow together, terror and talk cannot go together and terror and trade cannot happen together. Termination of 'Indus Water Treaty' is a befitting response to Pakistan and it will have far-reaching consequences since it's dependent on Indus River system,” the Lieutenant Governor said.

The Lieutenant Governor said the historic step has marked a new beginning, and reiterated Government of India’s commitment to utilize India’s water exclusively for the benefit of its citizens.

“India's water will now flow within India and remain in India. With the termination of Indus Water treaty, we now have full control over the Jhelum and Chenab rivers, he said further adding that the termination of IWT will ensure immense benefit to J&K, which will be able to harness its real hydro power potential, the barren areas of Jammu can be irrigated and there will be new momentum in the development of infrastructure in Jammu Kashmir.

He said India will now create infrastructure, power plants and diversion to new areas with proper infrastructure to use the water and it will enable construction of new reservoirs.

The Lieutenant Governor citing the debate in Parliament in November 1960 and statements of prominent leaders in the house also observed that Indus Water Treaty was a historical mistake, unfair, one-sided and hampered infrastructure development in Jammu Kashmir and restricted growth of development projects.

On the occasion, the Lieutenant Governor also paid tribute to the civilians who were martyred in the Pakistan sponsored terrorist attack in Pahalgam.

He also reiterated his resolve to honor and deliver justice to the terror victims of Jammu Kashmir.

“No Terror Victim Families will be left behind. It is being ensured that Family members, who have been waiting for justice for decades, will receive jobs, financial assistance and necessary handholding. Their culprits will not be spared. The properties of terror victims which were encroached by terrorists or terror sympathisers will be vacated soon,” the Lieutenant Governor said.

Pahalgam: At least 26 tourists lost their lives in a horrific terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, earlier today. According to reports, the attackers allegedly asked victims for their names and religious identities before opening fire. The incident has sparked strong condemnation from top Indian leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, who have pledged a stern response. Security forces have been instructed to carry out extensive operations to track down and neutralize those responsible.

The attack occurred in the popular tourist destination of Pahalgam, a scenic town in the Anantnag district of Jammu and Kashmir. Eyewitnesses reported that armed militants targeted tourists, questioning them before opening fire. The victims included both domestic and  foreign travelers, though official confirmation on their identities is still awaited.

Local authorities and security forces rushed to the scene, cordoning off the area and initiating rescue operations. The injured were transported to nearby hospitals, with some reported in critical condition.

Home Minister Amit Shah, Intelligence Bureau (IB) Chief, and the Home Secretary have departed for Jammu and Kashmir to assess the situation. Shah condemned the attack, stating:
"Anguished by the terror attack on tourists in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. My thoughts are with the family members of the deceased. Those involved in this dastardly act of terror will not be spared, and we will come down heavily on the perpetrators with the harshest consequences."

Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his grief and condemnation, tweeting:
"I strongly condemn the terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. Condolences to those who have lost their loved ones. I pray that the injured recover at the earliest. All possible assistance is being provided to those affected. Those behind this heinous act will be brought to justice... they will not be spared!"

Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Omar Abdullah, called the attackers "animals" and "inhuman," stating:
"I’m shocked beyond belief. This attack on our visitors is an abomination. The perpetrators of this attack are animals, inhuman & worthy of contempt. No words of condemnation are enough. I send my sympathies to the families of the deceased."

Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha has ordered security forces to conduct extensive counter-terrorism operations. A high alert has been declared across the region, with reinforcements deployed to track down the attackers.
