Big story: India demands modification of INDUS WATERS TREATY

Hindustan Times  

New Delhi: In a significant step indicating its growing frustration with the working of the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty, India has served a formal notice to Pakistan on 30 August 2024 seeking its review and modification. Indian officials believe that Pakistan has been compulsively obstructive about all projects on the Indian side and has taken undue advantage of India's generosity under the Indus Waters Treaty. The third underlines the impact of persistent cross-border terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir which has impeded the smooth operations of the Treaty and undermined full utilization of India's rights. Experts point out that the Indian Government's decision reflects both its irritation on Pakistan's recalcitrant attitude on the Indus waters sharing and a growing anger at the continued cross-border terrorist attacks.
