Indus Water Treaty suspended
Let us tell you that after the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, India took several punitive steps against Pakistan, including suspending the 1960 Indus Water Treaty. The Indus Water Treaty, mediated by the World Bank, has been controlling the distribution and use of the Indus River and its tributaries between India and Pakistan since 1960.
Rain warning in most parts of Pakistan
The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has warned of heavy rains in most parts of Pakistan till August 30. The NDMA warning comes at a time when the country is grappling with the early onset of monsoon from June 26 to August 20, in which till Saturday, more than 788 people have lost their lives and 1,018 people have been injured.
