India Halts Indus Waters Treaty With Pakistan After Kashmir Terror Attack Kills 26

In a powerful response to the recent terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam that claimed the lives of 26 people, including one foreign national, the Indian government has taken unprecedented action against Pakistan. Following evidence of cross-border involvement, the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) — India’s top national security body — has announced the indefinite suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty.

This historic decision halts the flow of water from the Indus River and its key tributaries — the Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas, and Satluj — which serve as a vital water source for millions in Pakistan.

The Indus Waters Treaty, signed on September 19, 1960 with the World Bank as broker, had weathered several wars between the two nations. But the recent brutality in Pahalgam has led to what may be the most consequential move yet, marking a significant turning point in India-Pakistan relations.
