India dismisses Pakistan flood claims, says Chenab water rise due to heavy rain
India's Ministry of External Affairs dismissed Pakistan's claims of deliberate flooding, attributing the rise in Chenab river water levels to heavy monsoon rainfall in Jammu and surrounding areas. The response follows reports of at least 37 deaths in Pakistan due to rain-related incidents, including flash floods and landslides. India emphasized that the flooding is a natural consequence of intense rainfall rather than any action taken by India.
