India Calls for Treaty Review, Says Indus Waters... ... Op Sindoor Live: Air Siren Sounded in Chandigarh, Residents Advised To Remain Indoors

India on Thursday reiterated its call for a reassessment of the Indus Waters Treaty, citing fundamental changes in circumstances since it was signed in the 1960s. “The treaty was concluded in a spirit of goodwill and friendship, but Pakistan has consistently violated that spirit by blocking projects that India is entitled to undertake — both on eastern and western rivers — under the treaty,” the government said. It noted that India has honored the agreement for over six decades, even during wars, while Pakistan has created legal obstacles. India also emphasized that the treaty was based on engineering practices of the 1950s and ’60s, which no longer reflect the needs of today, given modern technological advancements, demographic shifts, climate change, and the growing need for clean energy. Despite repeated notices, Pakistan has failed to engage in talks for updating the treaty’s terms, India added.
