India Seeks Pause in Water Dispute Proceedings with Pakistan

India and Pakistan are arguing about how to use water from certain rivers.

India wants to pause the arguments because of a treaty called the Indus Water Treaty.

They sent a letter to the person in charge, asking to stop the writing and meetings for now.

This person is helping decide if India's water projects follow the rules.

Pakistan's former leader is threatening a war if India doesn't give them water fairly.

The World Bank is considering the request but hasn't made a decision yet.
