One month since Indus Waters Treaty suspension: What satellite images reveal
It's been a month since India put the 65-year-old Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) on hold following the horrific terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22. So, how is this suspension really affecting Pakistan?River flow data and geospatial evidence suggest that the government has made flushing of dams a regular exercise in the last month. Satellite images of the Baglihar Dam on the Indian side show flushing operations underway on May 1, matching both news reports and a visible change in river water colour on the imagery indicating mud and sediments. Over the next 10 days, Sentinel images show shows a sharp drop in water levels followed by a sudden spike. advertisementIndia Today's Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) team has identified a clear pattern at India's dams on the Chenab and Jhelum rivers: filling the reservoirs to its capacity, then force-flushing silt to clear them out. This practice not only clears sediment but also boosts hydroelectric power generation. We reviewed satellite images and water inflow data over 30 days at the last dam in India and the first in Pakistan on Chenab and Jhelum rivers. The idea is to detect any shift in water management. For instance, if India opens the sluice gates of a dam, the water level downstream in Pakistan should also rise. advertisement Water inflow data from Pakistan's Indus River System Authority (IRSA) for the Marala Dam — the first regulation point on the Chenab after it enters Pakistan — shows a sharp drop in water levels followed by a sudden outflow of water at Marala Dam – the rate at which water is released from the dam – stood at 14,800 cusecs when IWT was suspended , dropped to 8,087 cusecs on May 2, surged to 55,148 cusecs on May 3, and then fell sharply to just 3,761 cusecs by May 6. The outflow spiked again to 18,331 cusecs on May 9, before dropping to 3,470 cusecs by May 16 and then peaked to 20,648 on May images of the Baglihar Dam on the Indian side show flushing operations underway on May 1, matching both news reports and a visible change in river water colour on the imagery indicating mud and sediments. Over the next 10 days, the dam's gates remained closed until a sudden release on May 11. A similar pattern was observed the following flushing, typically done annually, clears sediment buildup to restore storage capacity, boost turbine efficiency, and extend the life of hydroelectric plants. Kishanganga, a small hydroelectric project with limited reservoir, opens all three gates in phases, then closes them together. Before the suspension of the IWT, Pakistan routinely objected to this practice, as the flushing of silt and sediments not only increases downstream flow but can also potentially block irrigation canals. Conversely, refilling the reservoir by closing the gates can decrease the river water flow downstream for a short period. While there are no drastic fluctuations in water levels at Pakistan's Mangla dam on the Jhelum river, data indicates periods of increased flow, likely resulting from upstream flushing activities by Indian images from the European Space Agency show the gates of the Kishanganga dam – the first major dam on the Jhelum's tributary – fully open on April 29. Over the next week, only one gate remained open until it was finally closed on May 21. Kishanganga, a run-of-the-river hydroelectric project, has a limited reservoir capacity of just 18.8 million cubic clear pattern was observed over the month on the Indus River, as India currently has no operational storage dams on this stretch. LONG-TERM PLANSAs part of long-term plans to utilise the waters of the rivers covered under the IWT, four additional power plants are proposed, which will allow India to utilise more water from the western rivers through associated roadmap also outlines the revival of the long-stalled Tulbul navigation project on the Jhelum, enhancements to Wular Lake and the Jhelum river for improved flood control, lift irrigation projects to accelerate water utilisation, and the optimised use of the Ranbir and Pratap canals to ensure greater water availability for the Jammu Pakistan has written to India expressing its willingness to restart dialogue regarding renegotiating the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT), which India has kept in abeyance following the Pahalgam terror attack. However, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has firmly stated that the suspension will remain in place 'until Pakistan credibly and irreversibly ends cross-border terrorism.' advertisementIN THIS STORY#India-Pakistan#Pakistan

Solidus Labs Unveils Agentic-Based Compliance: A New Model for Trade Surveillance Operations
By Business Wire Published on May 22, 2025, 17:38 IST New York, United States: Solidus Labs , the category-definer in trade surveillance and risk monitoring for digital and traditional asset classes, today announced the launch of Agentic-Based Compliance, a groundbreaking model for surveillance operations that leverages a network of AI agents to deliver exponential efficiency, precision, and intelligence across the entire trade surveillance and transaction monitoring investigation lifecycle. Legacy compliance solutions have failed to keep up with the rapid modernization and growing complexity of global markets. Compliance teams are forced to work with a patchwork of disconnected and expensive tools that fail to deliver results efficiently. According to McKinsey , compliance analysts spend 80% of their time on low or moderate-risk issues, often repetitively resolving false positives or performing menial work. This inefficiency extends to market abuse detection: Despite the enormous resources and efforts invested in compliance technology, firms continue to face enforcement actions for missed manipulation. Research shows that market abuse like insider trading occurs in 20% of mergers and acquisitions and 5% of quarterly earnings announcements in U.S. markets. More broadly, only 4% of Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) lead to law enforcement investigations. This isn't a failure of effort – it's a failure of architecture. Built on Solidus' proprietary platform, HALO, Agentic-Based Compliance reimagines how financial institutions detect, investigate, and resolve market abuse risks. It replaces legacy systems and siloed workflows with a unified, intelligence-led architecture powered by autonomous AI agents that augment human analysts and operate across a multi-dimensional risk environment. 'Agentic-Based Compliance is the only way compliance teams can stay ahead of emerging complexities like 24/7 off-platform trading, enhanced retail participation and the heightened risks they carry for cyber-enhanced financial crimes and cross-product and cross-market manipulation,' said Asaf Meir, Founder and Chief Executive of Solidus Labs. 'Our vision is simple: Compliance operations should be as scalable, intelligent, and efficient as the markets they're designed to protect. Solidus' Agentic-Based Compliance delivers just that, solving for tech sprawl, alert fatigue, talent shortage and surveillance blind spots that cost firms thousands of hours and can reach billions of dollars in losses and fines.' HALO embeds a fleet of purpose-built AI agents, each designed to streamline a specific stage of the compliance investigation lifecycle — from signal enrichment and alert remediation to model testing, OSINT intelligence feeds, case management, and regulatory reporting. Born in crypto's highly fragmented and complex environment, Solidus' Agentic-Based Compliance is future-proof by design for all asset classes, leading to 20X faster investigations and saving compliance analysts as much as 5 hours of menial work per day. Like all Solidus Labs' solutions, it was developed in tandem with regulatory feedback – aligning with the current and evolving demands of modern financial markets, including the imperatives of market abuse regulations in the U.S., EU, and other leading jurisdictions. Poised to power the next generation of surveillance operations, Solidus' Agentic-Based Compliance is already gaining traction among forward-looking financial firms seeking to modernize their compliance capabilities and reduce operational strain. To learn more, visit . About Solidus Labs Solidus Labs is the category-definer for Agentic-Based Compliance in trade surveillance and risk monitoring. Founded in 2018 by Goldman Sachs veterans, the company merges Wall Street rigor, crypto-native innovation, and cybersecurity principles to reinvent compliance for the modern financial era. At the core is HALO, an AI-powered risk-based platform trusted by financial institutions, crypto firms, and regulators globally to drive proactive, intelligence-led oversight — across any product, venue, or asset class.
