India asked to change design of Kishanganga project | Pakistan | DAWN.COM

LAHORE: Pakistan has pressed the visiting Indian Indus commissioner to change the design of the Kishanganga Hydro Plant in accordance with a partial award issued by the International Court of Arbitration.

A 10-member Indian delegation which left for home on Tuesday said they had referred the award to their seniors and were waiting for their response. They will be able to make changes after the higher authorities agree.

According to sources in the Pakistan Indus Commissionerate, the Indians have referred the award probably to their lawyers and are waiting for their clearance.

During talks with the Indians, the Pakistani officials also raised the Wullar Barrage issue and demanded a "tour of inspection" at the earliest to ascertain whether India was carrying out any construction or not.

Apart from the two projects, both sides also held their first meeting on three projects recently launched by India — Rattle, Miyar and Kalnai water and hydro projects on the western rivers in India-held Kashmir.

Pakistan had raised objection to the projects and the Indians had responded. In the current meeting, Pakistan substantiated its objections and the Indian delegation tried to defend the designs of the projects.

Both sides stuck to their positions but decided to continue talks.

According to Pakistan's version, 48MW Kalnai Hydro Electric Project could allow India to utilise the flows of Lower Kalnai River, a tributary of the Chenab River, in Kistwar district of Jammu and Kashmir. The project envisages construction of a 49-metre-high dam with a 4.56km water conductor system.

The Indians have also planned 850MW Rattle plant. The project has been approved by the apex committee of the Indian ministry of environment.

According to Jamaat Ali Shah, former Indus commissioner of Pakistan, the Indus Water Basin Treaty has a grey area: it does not specifically stop India from construction (over shared rivers) even if objections are raised by Pakistan.

"With construction going on the spirit of the treaty gets defeated as ground realities are changed and the changes in turn are used to justify the project at later stages. Both sides need to hammer out a mechanism to stop constructions at least during the objection period."

Both sides should seek to address objections within a particular timeframe, he proposed: "The Indians are in habit of delaying response to Pakistani objections and use that time for construction of the projects. This has been a pattern of Indian behaviour.

And this is done at the cost of Pakistan and the treaty," he said.

did u pay license fees to america for copying Babur from tomahawk cruise missile.
Babur projected started in 95.

there was one other picture of tomhawak posted by haseeb in pdf somewhere else.which has clearly shown that even when the tomhawk flight was aborted.it was not in a position to be reverse engineered.how much sure are you the one dropped in pakistan was still in google condition

how can one copy the engine(nescom engine was to be made operational on babur onwards 2010) could be for the slcm variant

well detecting a cruise missile is difficult if i am not wrong

may be even for USA

for india it is next to impossible.
you are wrong it is detectable by India and USA -Phalcon AWAC
and interceptable at the low speeds by warplanes.

so a cruise missile is intercepted ever or not yet?
yes Cruise missiles flying at less than MACH 1 are interceptable.

MIGS in Georgia shot down Israeli UAV which is harder to detect and intercept

Only a Paki could think of destroying a dam with a missile. If you do that can you guess where the water's going to go? :rolleyes:

If all Paki generals were geniuses like you, India wouldn't have to do anything in a war. Just sit back and wait until you guys destroy all the 100 or so dams in Kashmir and then die by the lakhs in the floods that follow. :pound:
