India Rejects Pakistan's Flood Allegations, Cites Monsoon Rainfall and Pakistan's Own Advisory
India has rejected Pakistan's allegations that it deliberately caused flooding in the Chenab River, calling the claims baseless and misleading. Indian officials attribute the rise in water levels between July 20 and 23 to intense monsoon rainfall over Jammu and adjoining catchment areas. India cited Pakistan's own Flood Forecasting Division advisory from July 22, which attributed the floods to heavy rainfall and expected high flows to persist before receding. India also denied withholding flood warnings, stating river flows did not reach extraordinary levels requiring special alerts.
