New Delhi/IBNS, May 5 -- India has snapped the water flow to Pakistan from the Baglihar dam on Chenab river in another diplomatic strike on Islamabad in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack, media reports said.

India has started de-silting operations in the dam and lowered the sluice gates so that the waterflow to Pakistan is reduced by 90 percent.

In an immediate response to the attack, India suspended the landmark Indus River water-sharing treaty and closed the Attari-Wagah road border which acts a lifeline of Indo-Pak trade and people-to-people ties, besides expelling diplomats, downsizing high commissions and issuing a 48-hour deadline to Pakistani visa holders present in India to leave.
