India Suspends Indus Water Treaty: What Happens Next?

In a major geopolitical shift, India has suspended the Indus Water Treaty, ending the 64-year-old water-sharing agreement with Pakistan. Signed in 1960 with the World Bank’s mediation, this treaty allocated 80% of the Indus River system to Pakistan, supporting its agriculture, drinking water supply, and hydropower generation. With the treaty now suspended, Pakistan faces a severe water crisis, raising concerns over food security, urban shortages, and power disruptions. The move follows India’s Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) approval after the Pahalgam terrorist attack, signalling a strong policy stance against Pakistan.
