Pakistan Water Commission Team Leaves For India
A three-member water commission delegation left for India via Wagah Border on Sunday to inspect hydro-electric projects near Chenab basin.
According to Samaa Digital, the delegation is being led by Pakistan’s commissioner for Indus Waters Syed Mehr Ali Shah.
India has allowed Pakistan to inspect projects after four-and-a-half years, he said while speaking to the media.
“Implementation on the Indus Water Treaty will prove to be beneficial for both Pakistan and India,” he said.
Shah remarked that the treaty doesn’t allow either country to stop the construction of any project.
“We can only raise objections over the design of the project,” he remarked.

The Pakistani military spokesperson said one pilot of the downed Indian jets was captured correcting an initial statement that two pilots were in custody.

The images produced by Planet Labs Inc, a San Francisco-based private satellite operator, show at least six buildings on the site on March 4, six days after the airstrike.
Until now, no high-resolution satellite images were publicly available. But the images from Planet Labs, which show details as small as 72 cm (28 inches), offer a clearer look at the structures the Indian government said it attacked.
