India had stopped Indus Water Agreement after the Pahalgam attack
On April 22, 26 tourists were shot dead by 5 terrorists in Pahalgam, Kashmir. The next day, India took 5 major decisions to teach Pakistan a lesson in a meeting chaired by PM Narendra Modi.
In this, the 65 -year -old Indus Water Treaty was stopped. Attari check post was closed. The visa was closed and the High Commissioners were removed.
After this, on 7 May, India ruined several terrorist bases in Pakistan under ‘Operation Sindoor’ by air strikes. The two countries had a struggle for 4 days, after which US President Trump gave information about the ceasefire on May 10 through social media posts.
What is the Indus Water Agreement between India and Pakistan?
There are a total of 6 rivers in the Indus river system- Indus, Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas and Sutlej. The area along their banks is spread over 11.2 lakh square kilometers. It has 47% land in Pakistan, 39% land in India, 8% land in China and 6% land in Afghanistan. Around 30 crore people from all these countries live in these areas.
Already in 1947, the partition of rivers started between Punjab and Pakistan’s Sindh province of India and Pakistan. In 1947, there was a ‘Standstil Agreement’ between the engineers of India and Pakistan. Under this, Pakistan continued to get water from two main canals. The agreement lasted until 31 March 1948.
When the agreement was not implemented on 1 April 1948, India stopped the water of both canals. This ruined farming on 17 lakh acres of land in Punjab province of Pakistan. In the re -agreement, India agreed to give water.
After this, a conversation of water sharing in India Pakistan was held in the mediation of the World Bank from 1951 to 1960 and finally on 19 September 1960, there was a signature between PM Nehru and Pakistan President Ayub Khan in Karachi. It is called Indus Water Treaty or Indus Water Treaty.
Postponement of Indus Water Agreement affects Pakistan
- In Pakistan, 90% of the land of farming i.e. 4.7 crore acres of water is found from the Indus river system for irrigation. Agriculture sector holds 23% in the national income of Pakistan and 68% of rural Pakistanis live in livelihood. In such a situation, there may be a worse economy along with the common people in Pakistan.
- Mangal and Tarbella Hydropower Dam of Pakistan will not get water. This can reduce Pakistan’s power generation by 30% to 50%. Also, industrial production and employment will be affected.
