India and Pakistan on Tuesday agreed on redesigning the Miyar Hydroelectric project, at the end of two-day talks of Indus Water Commissioners in Islamabad, the state-run media reported here as the official announcement is awaited.
It was also agreed that the Lower Kalnai and the Pakal Dul projects would be inspected again.
The Pakistani delegation was headed by Mirza Asif Saeed while P.K. Saxena led the Indian team.
The talks between the two countries began after 22 months when Pakistan in 2015 skipped consultations following objections on the Kishenganga and the Ratle hydroelectric projects by India.
Washington meet
Kishenganga is in arbitration while officials of the two countries are meeting in Washington next month on the Ratle project on the invitation of the World Bank.
Pakistan’s request for arbitration on Ratle is still pending with the World Bank, which is the guarantor of the 1960 Indus Water Treaty.
