India plans expansion of Ranbir canal on Chenab to boost water use after Indus Waters Treaty suspension

The government is considering plans to expand the Ranbir canal on the Chenab river as part of a broader strategy to maximise the utilisation of water resources following the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT), officials said. The decision comes in the wake of the recent Pahalgam terror attack, after which India placed the treaty in abeyance.
