Pakistan has voiced concerns over India's reported approval of the Dulhasti Stage-II hydropower project on the Chenab River, stating India cannot misuse its water allowance under the Indus Waters Treaty. Islamabad has sought clarification from India regarding the project's details, emphasizing that any project on a western river requires strict design, operational controls, and information sharing with Pakistan. The treaty, brokered by the World Bank, governs water distribution between the two nations.
