Tensions between India and Pakistan have been escalating after the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam on April 22, which claimed the lives of 26 people. 

After the attack, India announced several measures against Pakistan, including downgrading diplomatic ties with the neighbouring country, suspending the Indus Water Treaty of 1960, and more. 

New Delhi also announced a series of punitive measures against Islamabad. A ban on the import of goods from Pakistan, suspending the exchange of all categories of inbound mail and parcels from the neighbouring country through air and surface routes, and barring vessels with the Pakistani flag from docking at Indian ports. 

On Monday, all the gates of Salal Dam on the Chenab River were closed, due to which the water levels significantly dropped in the Reasi district.
