India, Pakistan have an ongoing dispute over the flow of water

ISLAMABAD: The World Bank has summoned Pakistani and Indian officials to Geneva May 25 for a meeting over their Baglihar Dam dispute.

According to an AAJ TV report, World Bank negotiator Reamond Laffette said the meeting would continue till May 27.

Indus Water Commissioner Syed Jamaat Ali Shah would head the Pakistani delegation consisting of senior officials.

Pakistan and India have submitted their comments on the inquiry done by the neutral expert last year. The World Bank negotiator is not bound to decide the matter in a specific time period.

Pakistan says the Baglihar Dam, which India is building in Jammu and Kashmir, would affect the flow of water to its territory and violate the terms of the Indus Water Treaty, one of the most durable agreements between the two sides.

India and Pakistan concluded the Indus Water Treaty on September 19, 1960, and the World Bank is a signatory to the pact for certain specified purposes.

In January last year, Pakistan asked the World Bank to appoint a neutral expert to settle the dispute with India.

The Indus Water Treaty was needed because all five rivers that feed the Indus Valley, which became part of Pakistan after India’s partition in 1947, start on the Indian side of the Himalayas.
