Despite the Indus Waters Treaty being in abeyance, India alerted Pakistan on August 24 about a potential flood in the Tawi River, marking the first major diplomatic contact since May’s military conflict. The Indian High Commission in Islamabad issued the warning, which Pakistani media acknowledged as a goodwill gesture. The treaty, signed in 1960 and brokered by the World Bank, governs water sharing between the two nations. India suspended the agreement following a terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam, allegedly backed by Pakistan. Prime Minister Modi criticized the treaty as “unjust and unreasonable,” asserting that “blood and water won’t flow together” until Pakistan halts support for terrorism. (PC: ET Infra)
