Pakistan to move World Bank against Kishanganga Dam
LAHORE: The government has decided to contact the World Bank (WB) for arbitration over the construction of the Kishanganga Dam, a private TV channel quoted Indus Water Commissioner Syed Jamaat Ali Shah as saying on Sunday. Talking to the channel, Shah said no positive results had come out of several rounds of talks with India on the issue of the Kishanganga power project. He said that Pakistan had decided to contact the World Bank now. The Kishanganga power project is underway in Indian-held Kashmir (IHK) against the 1960 Indus Water Treaty. According to the agreement, Pakistan and India can both contact the WB for arbitration. daily times monitor
