Pakistan halts Indus canals project after India moves to suspend treaty - Business Standard

Quick Summary:

Pakistan government has decided to halt the contentious canals project after India decided to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty in the wake of deadly terrorist attack in Pahalgam.

However, it created an uproar in Sindh province where different political parties, including the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), which is part of the ruling coalition at the centre with Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), began protest against the project.

Army chief General Asim Munir and Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz had inaugurated the ambitious Cholistan project in February to irrigate the desert region in Punjab province.
