LAHORE — The fourth round of meetings between Pakistan Indus Basin Water Commission (PIWC) and India Indus Basin Water Commission (IIWC) concluded here with the announcement that Kishan Ganga Dam would be discussed in India again next month.
PIWC Chairman Syed Jamaat Ali Shah said Pakistan had expressed reservations over Kishan Ganga Dam to the IIWC and discussions would continue in India next month. He said, "No progress is possible in the discussion on Kishan Ganga Dam until and unless the basic points are settled in this regard."
Shah said that both sides had, however, agreed on an inspection of the dam over Jhelum River. Responding to Pakistan's objections, India said that it had not constructed any new dam on Jhelum but had rehabilitated some part, which was wiped out in the recent flood, he added. Shah said they had also raised objections on the Uri-II project in the Baramula district of occupied Kashmir.
