India dismissed the authority of an arbitration court over hydroelectric projects in Jammu and Kashmir on February 2, 2026, during the reporting window from 12:45:44 PM to 3:15:33 PM UTC, as stated by official sources cited in a WIONews report shared by @sidhant on X. The government rejected the court's jurisdiction regarding disputes involving the projects, according to the WIONews article posted on X at an unspecified time within the 2-hour-29-minute window. No further details on the specific projects or the arbitration claims were provided in the source. This development follows earlier revelations from General M.M. Naravane's book on 2020 China border tensions in Ladakh, detailed in a previous report covering activity up to 12:45 PM UTC today, but no direct connection to the J&K arbitration issue was noted in new sources.
