India has given this information to Pakistan through its high commission.
India has informed Pakistan on humanitarian grounds in view of the flood situation in the Tawi River of Jammu and Kashmir. According to the Indian Ministry of External Affairs, this step has been taken completely for the purpose of humanitarian aid.
The Indian High Commission in Islamabad has informed Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry on Sunday about the flood. This is the first time such information was shared through high commission.
Typically, the flood -related warnings under the Indus Water Treaty were shared between the water commissioners of the two countries. Negotiations in both countries have been almost closed since Operation Sindoor in May this year.
Pakistani media claimed that India gives information under the treaty
Today, Pakistan’s media reports claimed that India has informed Pakistan about possible floods under the Indus Water Treaty.
Geo News and The News International quoted sources as saying that India warned Islamabad on the morning of 24 August for flooding in the Tawi river of Jammu.
India postponed the treaty after the Pahalgam attack
After the terrorist attack in Pahalgam on 22 April, India postponed the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan in 1960.
Under this, India can use 3 eastern rivers of Indus Water System and Pakistan was empowered over the water of the remaining 3 western rivers.
What is the Indus Water Agreement between India and Pakistan?
There are a total of 6 rivers in the Indus river system- Indus, Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas and Sutlej. The area along their banks is spread over 11.2 lakh square kilometers. It has 47% land in Pakistan, 39% land in India, 8% land in China and 6% land in Afghanistan. Around 30 crore people from all these countries live in these areas.
Already in 1947, the partition of rivers started between Punjab and Pakistan’s Sindh province of India and Pakistan. In 1947, there was a ‘Standstil Agreement’ between the engineers of India and Pakistan. Under this, Pakistan continued to get water from two main canals. The agreement lasted until 31 March 1948.
When the agreement was not implemented on 1 April 1948, India stopped the water of both canals. This ruined farming on 17 lakh acres of land in Punjab province of Pakistan. In the re -agreement, India agreed to give water.
After this, a conversation of water sharing in India Pakistan was held in the mediation of the World Bank from 1951 to 1960 and finally on 19 September 1960, there was a signature between PM Nehru and Pakistan President Ayub Khan in Karachi. It is called Indus Water Treaty or Indus Water Treaty.

Impact of postponing Indus Water Agreement
- In Pakistan, 90% of the land of farming i.e. 4.7 crore acres of water is found from the Indus river system for irrigation. Agriculture sector holds 23% in the national income of Pakistan and 68% of rural Pakistanis live in livelihood. In such a situation, there may be a worse economy along with the common people in Pakistan.
- Mangal and Tarbella Hydropower Dam of Pakistan will not get water. This can reduce Pakistan’s power generation by 30% to 50%. Also, industrial production and employment will be affected.
