India has served a formal notice to Pakistan seeking a review of the Indus Water Treaty, arguing that "fundamental and unforeseen" changes in the circumstances require a reassessment of the pact.

India has stopped the flow of water from the Ravi river into Pakistan by building a dam that was waiting for completion for 45 years. India has exclusive rights to the water of Ravi under the 1960 Indus water treaty signed under the supervision of th

India had, on January 25, issued a notice to Pakistan for modification of the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) of September 1960 following Pakistani "intransigence" on its implementation, sources said today.

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on Thursday said that the government has decided to stop "our share of water that used to flow to Pakistan", a week after 40 CRPF soldiers were killed in a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama.

Women and children walk miles each day in search for water in a crowded, downtrodden district of Pakistan's financial capital, Karachi - a scene repeated in cities throughout the country.

India today indicated that a dramatic reconfiguring of the Indus Waters Treaty for the sharing of six rivers with Pakistan is not off the table as a response to the Uri terror attack, after Prime Minister Narendra Modi said at a meeting: "Blood and water cannot flow together."

Voices within India demanding action against Pakistan, after terrorists attacked an army base in Uri and killed 18 soldiers last week, are growing louder. One suggestion making the rounds is India turn off the Indus river tap that waters much of Pakistan. It is suggested that doing so could compel Pakistan to crackdown on non-state and state actors...

The 1960 Indus Waters Treaty between India and Pakistan has survived "two wars", a high-level UN official said underlining water also represents a source of cooperation and not just conflict.
