Pakistan urges safeguard of Indus Waters Treaty

Pakistan has renewed its appeal to the international community to safeguard the Indus Waters Treaty, with Minister Ishaq Dar accusing India of working on water infrastructure projects that could alter the Indus river system and undermine the decades-old water-sharing agreement. Dar's statement highlights ongoing tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors over water resources, a critical issue in the region. The treaty, brokered by the World Bank in 1960, has survived past conflicts but faces new challenges from infrastructure development and climate change.
