The Indus Waters Treaty

India announced the immediate suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) of 1960 in response to the Pahalgam terror attack that left 26 people dead and 10 injured. The move was made during a high-level meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Indus Waters Treaty is a water-sharing agreement between India and Pakistan. It was signed on September 19, 1960, in Karachi, and was brokered by the World Bank after nine years of negotiations.
