New Delhi: The Indian government on Tuesday denied Pakistani media claims that stated that New Delhi has accepted Islamabad's reservations on the ongoing dispute on Miyar Dam during the second and last day of the Indus Water Commission in Islamabad.
Earlier in the day, a Pak media report claimed that the Indian delegation, led by Indian Indus Water Commissioner P.K. Saxena, has reportedly agreed to halt work on the hydroelectric project's design.
However, Indian sources have been quoted as saying that the Pak media claims were factually incorrect and wrong as Indian never agreed to halt the project.
Pak media also claimed that India had also agreed to review the design for the Lower Kalnai hydroelectric project.
The Indo-Pak Indus Water Commission conference, which began in Islamabad on Monday, saw discussions on Miyar, Lower Kalnai and Pakal Dul projects among other problems related to Indus Basin.
The meeting was the 113th session of the Permanent Indus Waters Commission established in 1960. The last meeting of the commission was held in 2015.
The meeting planned in September 2016 was cancelled due to the tension following the Uri terror attack.
