India has formally notified Pakistan of its intention to amend the 1960 Indus Water Treaty, citing significant changes in circumstances and Pakistan's lack of cooperation. The treaty allocates eastern river waters to India and western river waters to Pakistan. India’s notice underscores persistent disputes over water usage and hydroelectric projects. Previous attempts to address these issues, including a January 2023 notice and multiple commission meetings, have failed to yield results. India utilizes more than 90% of its allotted share, while Pakistan continues to raise objections, escalating tensions between the two nations.
