***** Why the suspension of Indus Water Treaty is devastating for Bhikaris *****

[JANASENA]

-- For Pakistan, the Indus system is not just vital—it is existential.

-- 80% of Pakistan’s cultivated land—about 16 million hectares—relies on water from the Indus system.

-- 93% of this water is used for irrigation, powering the country’s agricultural backbone.

-- The system supports over 237 million people, with Pakistan accounting for 61% of the Indus Basin population.

-- Major urban centres—Karachi, Lahore, Multan—draw their water directly from these rivers.

-- Hydropower plants like Tarbela and Mangla also depend on uninterrupted flows.

The system contributes nearly 25% of Pakistan’s GDP and supports crops like wheat, rice, sugarcane, and cotton. Pakistan is already one of the most water-stressed countries in the world, and per capita availability is declining rapidly. If India cuts off or significantly reduces flows from the Indus, Jhelum, and Chenab, the impact will be immediate and severe:

-- Food production could collapse, threatening food security for millions.

-- Urban water supplies would dry up, causing unrest in cities.

 -- Power generation would stall, crippling industries and homes.

-- Loan defaults, unemployment, and migration could spike in rural regions

already bhikari stage lo ne vunnaru, 

oka doubt if we stop water from Indus and its tributaries do they have still water ? coz 80 % of it flow in pakistan and would Indus and its tributaries not be fed from glaciers and other sources in the mountainous region in pakistan and POK

So now water flow will stop because treaty is suspended ?

[psycontr]

Treaty suspension will have zero impact in near to mid future and in longterm minimal impact. Indus major flows through china occupied and pak occupied areas. Its tributaries are towards west flowing and close to border fed through glaciers. Technically and economically you cannot built dams in mountains to 100% block flow.
