In post-Pahalgam squeeze, India says it needs more water for growth

- JITENDRA CHOUBEY @New Delhi

AFTER the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack, the government has now decided to renegotiate the Ganga River Water Treaty with Bangladesh, which is set to expire next year.

India has communicated to its counterpart that it requires more water to meet its developmental needs. The new treaty will likely be shorter, lasting 10 to 15 years. The shorter duration will foster flexibility and adaptability for both nations moving forward.

The Ganga Water Treaty was signed on December 12, 1996 on sharing of water, particularly around the Farakka Barrage during the lean season.

"Before Pahalgam, we were inclined to extend the treaty for another 30 years, but the situation changed drastically afterward," stated a senior officer at the Ministry of External Affairs who participated in a meeting with the Bangladeshi counterpart earlier in May.

WHEN A CLEAN-UP BECOMES A MESS

A year ago, the idea of a massive nationwide exercise to visit every single household to verify, add, or delete voters was not on anyone’s radar. After all, the Narendra Modi government did not even conduct the mandatory dec-adal census. Chief Election Commi sioner Gyanesh Kumar took charge in February 2025 and, for three months, did not utter the term ‘special intensive revision’ (SIR). Suddenly, one day in June, the CEC announced a nationwide SIR beginning with Bihar. Why so suddenly and so hastily?
