India Issues Notice To Pakistan, Seeks Review And Modification Of Indus Water Treaty
India has formally issued a notice to Pakistan , seeking a review and modification of the Indus Water Treaty (IWT). The Modi government has called for changes to the decades-old agreement, which governs the sharing of waters from six rivers between the two nations. India argues that the current terms, which allocate 80% of the water to Pakistan and only 20% to India, are outdated and unfeasible, given the changing needs and population growth. This move is part of India's tougher stance on the treaty, with officials emphasizing that "blood and water can't flow together," signaling a potential shift in the longstanding water-sharing arrangement.
