India has invited Pakistan for talks over Kishenganga power project in Jammu and Kashmir, an issue over which Pakistan has threatened to move the World Bank for arbitration.

Indus Water Commissioner G Ranganathan has written a letter to his Pakistani counterpart Syed Jamaat Ali Shah inviting him for discussing the issue, official sources said. Ranganathan sent the letter months after Pakistan threatened to move for arbitration the World Bank, which is third party in Indo-Pak water disputes under the 1960 Indus Water Treaty.
