India Accelerates Chenab Hydropower Projects, Impacting Pakistan

India is building big dams on the Chenab river in Jammu and Kashmir.

These dams will make electricity and help India control when water flows to Pakistan.

Pakistan is worried because most of its water comes from rivers that start in India.

India has set deadlines to finish these dams by 2026 and 2028.

Pakistan has been watching these projects closely and has objected to some of them.

The biggest dam, Pakal Dul, is the tallest in India and will be the first to store water before it flows to Pakistan.

India is also cleaning up the river to make the dams work better.

This is a big change because India used to be careful about building dams on this river.
