Jammu & Kashmir, May 15 -- With Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) in abeyance, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Thursday wondered if the long-stalled Tulbul Navigation Project on the Wular Lake-Asia's second-largest freshwater lake-in Jammu and Kashmir's Bandipora district would be resumed.

"The Wular lake in North Kashmir. The civil works you see in the video is the Tulbul Navigation Barrage. It was started in the early 1980s but had to be abandoned under pressure from Pakistan, citing the Indus Water Treaty. Now that the IWT has been 'temporarily suspended,' I wonder if we will be able to resume the project," Omar said in a post on X.
