Indus Water Treaty suspension: What could be the impact on both countries?
Following the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, the Indian government has taken a series of tough measures, one of the most significant being the suspension of the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan. The decision was reportedly made during a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi. Following the meeting, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri issued a statement announcing the immediate suspension of the 1960 Indus Water Treaty between India and Pakistan. He further stated that the suspension would remain in effect until Pakistan credibly ceases its support for cross-border terrorism.
