Pakistan’s two parliamentary committees in a rare joint resolution asked India to immediately suspend work on two hydropower projects in Jammu and Kashmir and agree on the constitution of an arbitration court to resolve the water dispute.
The National Assembly’s Committee on Foreign Affairs and Water and Power held a joint sitting in Islamabad on Friday to discuss water issues with India. A joint resolution adopted at the meeting asked India to halt the construction work, Dawn reported.
The resolution also called upon the World Bank to constitute a court of arbitration to adjudicate on issues raised by Pakistan against India’s ongoing construction of Kishanganga and Ratle hydro projects. — PTI
