India and Pakistan Disagree on Indus Water Treaty

Pakistan and India have a treaty called the Indus Water Treaty, which was made in 1960 with the help of the World Bank.

This treaty decides how they share water from the Indus River and its tributaries.

Pakistan says the treaty is still important and will talk to India if they think India is not following the rules.

India, on the other hand, has put the treaty on hold after a terror attack in 2022 and is now making changes to how they use the water.

India says they are following the treaty and are doing things like building hydropower projects and managing water better because of climate change.

Pakistan disagrees and says India is not following the treaty.

Both countries have different views on what the treaty allows and how to manage the water.
