Direction: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
The Indus Waters Treaty is a water-distribution treaty between India and Pakistan, brokered by the World Bank, then the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development. The treaty was signed in Karachi on September 19, 1960, by Prime Minister of India Jawaharlal Nehru and President of Pakistan Ayub Khan.
According to this agreement, control over the three "eastern" rivers — the Beas, the Ravi, and the Sutlej — was given to India, while control over the three "western" rivers — the Indus, the Chenab, and the Jhelum — to Pakistan. In aftermath of the 2016 Uri attack, India reviewed the treaty and its provisions and proposed several changes. The treaty was reviewed by India to explore possible ways to use its share of water from rivers, including the Jhelum, flowing into Pakistan.
According to the IWT, India is permitted to construct water storage on western rivers -Indus, Jhelum, and Chenab -up to 3.6 million acre-feet for various purposes, including domestic use.
India is currently building 3 hydro projects on the rivers that flow to Pakistan in their course. One of this projects is the 1000 MW Pakul Dul dam on Chenab. Another one includes a 120 MW on Miyar, which would be located across Miyar Nalla, a right-bank tributary of the river Chenab and a 43 MW hydro project on the Lower Kalnai Nalla; another tributary of Chenab. Pakistan objected to these projects stating that these projects are in violation of the Indus Water Treaty of 1960.
India refused to countenance any change of design of the Miyar dam in J&K, as asked by Pakistan and plans to continue utilization of its allocation under the Indus Waters Treaty.
