Pakistan has expressed significant concerns regarding alleged variations in the flow of the Chenab River, prompting its Indus Water Commissioner to formally seek clarification from India. This incident follows India’s decision to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) in the wake of a terror attack in April, a move that Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar has described as a material breach of the treaty, warning that any manipulation of water resources would be considered an act of war. Dar’s statements highlight the critical impact of India’s actions on Pakistan’s agricultural cycle and overall economic security, emphasizing that these developments threaten regional stability and the sanctity of international law. The IWT, established in 1960 to govern the distribution of river waters between the two nations, is now under strain, with Pakistan reiterating its commitment to resolving disputes peacefully while asserting its water rights. This escalating situation underscores the fragile nature of water security in a region already fraught with geopolitical tensions.
