STORYLINE:
Heavy rains have been pounding Jammu in Indian-controlled Kashmir resulting in rising water levels in the region’s rivers.
Cross-border flooding between India and Pakistan occurred after India released water from overflowing dams and swollen rivers into low-lying border regions, officials said Tuesday.
As a result, Pakistan moved to evacuate tens of thousands of people to safer areas.
It comes a day after New Delhi alerted Islamabad about possible cross-border flooding, marking the first public diplomatic contact between the two nuclear-armed rivals in months.
Many of the region’s rivers and tributaries eventually flow into Pakistan and the part of Kashmir it controls.
According to the Indian Meteorological Department, rains should persist until late Tuesday.
This week’s flood alert was conveyed to Pakistan through diplomatic channels rather than the Indus Waters Commission, the permanent mechanism created under the 1960 World Bank-brokered Indus Waters Treaty, which was suspended by New Delhi after the April killing of 26 tourists in Indian-controlled Kashmir.
Scientists and weather forecasters have blamed climate change for heavier rains in recent years in the region.
