The water level in the Chenab<\/a> River in Jammu and Kashmir\u2019s Akhnoor area is expected to rise again soon, the police and local administration announced on Monday evening. They urged people to leave the river area quickly for safety.\u201cChenab River\u2019s water level is about to rise soon. Everyone is requested to move away from the river,\u201d said the authorities.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the day, the water level in the river had suddenly dropped after the gates at the Baglihar and Salal Dams were closed. This caused the Chenab, which normally flows high, to drop to only 1.5 to 2 feet of water in Akhnoor.<\/p>\n

Support for PM Modi\u2019s Move on Water Treaty
<\/h2>\n

Many locals believe this drop is linked to Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s recent decision to put the Indus Waters Treaty on hold. The treaty, signed in 1960, allows Pakistan to use water from Indian rivers. After the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people, mostly tourists, India decided to suspend the treaty.<\/p>\n

\u201cEarlier, the Chenab used to flow at 25\u201330 feet high. Now it\u2019s down to just 1.5 feet because of PM Modi\u2019s decision. We don\u2019t want even a single drop of water going to Pakistan. We stand with the Indian Army and our PM,\u201d said Kalyan Singh, a local resident.<\/p>\n

Another elder from the village, aged 75, added, \u201cIn my lifetime, I\u2019ve never seen the Chenab so dry. I thank PM Modi for this bold step. We fully support the army.\u201d<\/p>\n

India Takes Strong Steps After Terror Attack<\/h2>\n

After the deadly Pahalgam terror attack, the Indian government has taken several strict steps against Pakistan. These include suspending the Indus Water Treaty and asking Pakistani defence officials in Delhi to leave the country within a week.The government has promised tough action against those responsible for the attack and said it will make sure they face serious punishment.<\/p>\n
