Checkmate Pakistan? India & Taliban Turn Off The Taps, Islamabad Stares At Double Water Crisis

This special report focuses on Pakistan's escalating tensions with its neighbours, with the Taliban in Afghanistan ordering the construction of a dam on the Kunar River to restrict water flow and the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) issuing a direct challenge to Pakistan's Army Chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir. Confirming the move, Afghanistan's Deputy Minister of Information, Mohajer Farahi, stated that the supreme leader 'has instructed to start the construction of the dams at Kunar as soon as possible and to enter into agreements with internal companies and not to wait for foreign companies'. This development puts Islamabad in 'double jeopardy', as it comes after India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty following a deadly terror attack in Pahalgam. These events unfold amid growing diplomatic ties between India and the Taliban, and recent Pakistani airstrikes in Afghanistan's Paktika province that killed civilians, including three cricketers.
