The Indus Waters Treaty – And What it means to suspend it

Under the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty Governing Six Common Rivers, India has the complete right over the watters of three rivers – Ravi, Beas and Sutlej, What Pakistan has the right over waters of Indus, Jhelum and Chenab.

The indus watters treated have been one of the very rare long-standing trerates due to Pakistan and have remed the single most successful example of cooperation between the two.

In 2019 too, after the Pulaawama Terror Attack, Against Paramilitary Personnel, Prime Minister Narendra Modi Reportedly Told The Cabinet Committee on Security that “Blod and Water Can’T Flozeti togeether.” But at the time, chose not to implement it.

But in the wake of this cowardly attack by Pakistan-Based Terrorist Group The Resistance Front, Who have Claimed Responsibility for Killing 26 Tourists, The Top Deacation-Making Body india Has Decided to suspend the water-sharing treatment.

The resistance front is an offshoot of the banned lashkar-e-taiba.

A water supply problem will be a matter of grave concert for Pakistan. In recent years, experts have warned that Pakistan is already on the brink of an era of an acute water shortage caused by a combination of factories – Among them Population Growth, CLIMATE CLIMATE COLIMATE GRAWTH, And Poor Water MANAGEMENT.

In the past, when suspending the indus treated washeded by India, Pakistan had said that a move to exit the treatment would be percent in Islamabad as “an actor of war.”

India’s Decision to Suspend the Water-Sharing Treaty Reflects The Depths of New Delhi’s Frustration with Islamabad Over Pakistan’s Use of Terrorism as an “Instrument of State Policy”.
