In response to a recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, India has taken the decision to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan. This move has halted the sharing of crucial water data between the two countries and could potentially lead to India utilizing more water from the western rivers allocated to Pakistan under the treaty. The decision signals a significant spike in tensions between the two nations and poses a threat to Pakistan’s water supply and agricultural sector. However, the immediate repercussions of this suspension are expected to be minimal due to existing infrastructure constraints. The Indus Waters Treaty, signed in 1960, governs the sharing of the Indus river system’s waters between India and Pakistan. The recent suspension of this agreement by India has raised concerns about the future of water cooperation between the two countries. The dispute over water resources adds yet another layer of complexity to the already strained relations between India and Pakistan. While the full implications of this development remain to be seen, it is clear that the situation in the region is becoming increasingly precarious.
