Hague court upholds India's right on Kishanganga project

The International Court of Arbitration at The Hague upheld India's right to divert water from the Kishanganga hydroelectric project (KHEP). Pakistan has been objecting to the construction of the hydroelectric project on the Kishanganga river in Kashmir, which is called Neelum upon entering Pakistan.

In November 2009, Pakistan had proposed the establishment of a Court of Arbitration and the appointment of a neutral expert to resolve the Kishanganga dam dispute. Indus Waters Treaty, inked between India and Pakistan, provides appointment of a neutral expert by the World Bank as a last option to resolve water related issues between the two countries.

The Kishanganga plant, in Bandipora district of north Kashmir, is part of a run-of-the-river
hydroelectric scheme that is designed to divert water from the Kishanganga river to a power plant in the Jhelum River basin.
