India alerts Pakistan about potential Sutlej flooding due to rains.
India has issued flood warnings to Pakistan regarding the Sutlej river, anticipating heavy flooding due to excessive rainfall in northern states. The alerts, communicated through the Ministry of External Affairs on humanitarian grounds, come despite India’s suspension of routine hydrological data exchange with Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack. This action underscores India’s commitment to disaster prevention and humanitarian assistance, even amid strained relations, as highlighted by prior alerts for the Tawi river. The Indus Waters Treaty, which regulates water sharing, has been a longstanding point of contention but showcases India’s willingness to prioritize human safety over political disputes.
