India has suspended the Indus Waters Treaty: What does it mean
Friday, 25 April 2025 Following a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, India has suspended the Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan, halting data sharing and potentially allowing for increased water usage from the western rivers. This action marks a significant escalation in tensions, threatening Pakistan's water supply and agriculture, though immediate impact is unlikely due to infrastructure limitations.
On April 23, 2025, India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty following a deadly terror attack in Kashmir, blaming Pakistan for cross-border terrorism. The move ends decades of controlled water sharing that was critical for Pakistan’s agriculture and survival. With 80% of Pakistan’s water supply at...

The crisis follows India’s suspension of the treaty after the Pahalgam terror attack, and Pakistan has warned that blocking water flow could be considered an "act of war."

India’s firm stance on terrorism led to a ceasefire after four days of intense cross-border fighting. Ambassador Vinay Kumar stated that Pakistan initiated a truce request on May 10, following India’s decisive military retaliation under Operation Sindoor. The ceasefire was reached directly between the two militaries without any third-party mediation, despite U.S. claims. The conflict was sparked by a deadly April terror attack in Kashmir, which India blamed on Pakistan-based groups. Kumar emphasized that India will respond to every act of terror with strength, rejecting nuclear blackmail or diplomatic double standards.
