New Delhi recently extended its support to Afghanistan to build a dam over the Kunar River, which it shares with Pakistan, at a time when the two nations are at loggerheads.
About Kunar River:
The Kunar River is also known as the Kama River.
It flows for about 480 kilometers (298 miles) through northern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in Pakistan and eastern Afghanistan.
This river starts high up in the Hindu Kush mountains.
Its waters come from melting glaciers and snow.
In Pakistan, this river is known as the Chitral River.
It is a tributary of the Kabul River.
The Kabul River then flows into the much larger Indus River. This makes the Kunar River part of the Indus watershed.
Course:
The Kunar River begins just south of the Broghil Pass. This area is in the upper part of the Chitral District in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.
It is very close to the border with Afghanistan, known as the Durand Line.
As the river flows, it passes through different regions.
It eventually reaches Jalalabad in Afghanistan. Here, the Kunar River joins the Kabul River.
Tributaries:
On its left side, the Shishi River joins it.
On its right side, rivers like the Lotkoh River, the Landai Sin River, and the Pech River add their waters.
