Chenab River
Recently, Pakistan has objected to the construction of Ratle, and Kwar hydroelectric projects on the Chenab river in Kashmir.
The Chenab River is formed by the confluence of two rivers Chandra and Bhaga (originating from the Baralacha La Pass) in the Lahaul and Spiti Valley of Himachal Pradesh.
It flows through the Pangi valley (parallel to the Pir Panjal range) before entering the Doda district of Jammu and Kashmir. It enters Sialkot (Pakistan) via Akhnoor in Jammu and Kashmir.
In Pakistan, the Jhelum, Ravi and Sutlej rivers join the Chenab to form the Panjnad River. After meeting the Indus River, it merges with the Arabian Sea.
