Interacting with the local media on the occasion, Dr. Farooq emphasized the need to review the Indus Water Treaty, highlighting the water crisis faced by the people of Jammu and Kashmir despite the region’s abundant water resources. He stressed the importance of ensuring that the rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir are upheld in regards to water usage.
