In a bold response to the Pahalgam terror attack by Pakistan-based militants, India has suspended the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty and halted the flow of Indus River water to Pakistan. A formal notice has been served to Islamabad, ending all treaty obligations including data sharing and consultations. India will now increase dam capacity to store water along the Indus basin. The move, termed an "act of war" by Pakistan, could severely impact its agriculture. India cites continued cross-border terrorism as justification. Additional steps include expelling diplomats, canceling visas, and shutting key land transit posts with Pakistan. (PC: India Today)
