Pakistan gets due share of Indus water'
Pakistan is getting its due share of river water under the Indus Waters Treaty of 1960, Pakistan's Water and Power Minister Syed Naveed Qamar said on Friday.
In a written reply submitted in the National Assembly, he said the treaty allocated waters of the eastern rivers Sutlej, Beas and Ravi to India and those of the western rivers Indus, Jhelum and Chenab to Pakistan, except for certain specified uses.
In the past, Islamabad had said its share was being diverted by dams in Jammu and Kashmir, though New Delhi has denied the charge.
