On May 15, 2025, Pakistan formally appealed to India to reconsider its suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT), citing the treaty’s importance for millions who depend on the shared water resources. The appeal was made by Syed Ali Murtaza, Secretary of Pakistan's Ministry of Water Resources, to Debashree Mukherjee, Secretary of India’s Jal Shakti Ministry. India suspended the treaty following a deadly terrorist attack in Pahalgam, alleging Pakistan’s involvement in cross-border terrorism. India insists the suspension will continue until such support ends. Pakistan warned the move could severely affect its agriculture and water security. (PC: The Economic Times)
