Again Pakistan got upset, gave a shout out to India on Sindh River Water Treaty

India and Pakistan News: Pakistan has said that if India violates any kind of activity or rules on the western rivers given to it under the Indus River Water Treaty (IWT), then it will raise it at the political and diplomatic level with New Delhi. During the weekly media briefing on Thursday, Pakistan Foreign Ministry spokesperson Tahir Andrabi also said that the Indus River Water Agreement remains a binding arrangement. There is no provision to stop this treaty. However, there has been no response from India on this yet.

Let us tell you, a day after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam on 22 April last year, i.e. on 23 April 2025, India had taken several restrictive measures to punish Pakistan. This also included suspending the Indus River Water Agreement of 1960. The Indus River Water Treaty, negotiated by the World Bank, has governed the sharing and use of the Indus River and its tributaries between India and Pakistan since 1960.

India and Pakistan found rivers

Under the Indus Water Treaty (1960), India got the Ravi, Beas and Sutlej (eastern rivers). India can make full use of these rivers. At the same time, Pakistan has got Indus, Jhelum and Chenab (western rivers). He uses 80% of their water. In this, India can build limited power projects on western rivers. This makes it considered one of the most successful water sharing agreements in the world.

Has requested to restore the treaty

Pakistan has requested India several times in the past to restore the water treaty. He wrote letters several times, but India is adamant on its stand. He is progressing rapidly on the hydroelectric projects of Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan fears that the commencement of work on projects on the rivers in its share may reduce or affect the water flow in its share. For this reason he is repeatedly demanding the restoration of this treaty. A large part of Pakistan’s agriculture is irrigated by the waters of Sandhi River.
