Indus Waters Treaty Suspension: India Strikes at Pakistan's Lifeline

The Statesman Bhubaneswar

|

April 25, 2025

The suspension of the Indus Water Treaty by India is going to have a huge impact on Pakistan, which is already grappling with economic challenges, according to experts.

- STATESMAN NEWS SERVICE

The treaty survived two wars – the 1965 and 1971 India-Pakistan wars – and several military standoffs between the two neighbours, including the 1999 Kargil war, but has now been indefinitely suspended.

Following the Pahalgam terror attack, India has suspended the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan. This was among the decisions taken by the Narendra Modi government after the dastardly attack which claimed at least 26 lives.

The Indus River system starts in Tibet and flows through India and Pakistan, also touching parts of Afghanistan and China.

Division of the waters of the Indus river system, which spans both countries, is governed by a 56-year-old treaty, which are regarded as one of the most successful agreements of its kind.
