India is violating the 1960 Indus waters treaty by not providing information about extraordinary flow of water, which has converted into destructive floods in Pakistan. Under the treaty, India is required to provide data in case of extraordinary flow of water. Thus, signed an agreement in 1989 under which India has been providing advance data of flow of Ravi, Sutlej and Bias rivers.
Apparently, treaty is an instrument of peace between two rivals – Pakistan and India. Subsequently, the actions of Indian government will be leading to escalation and tension in the region which will hurt the world stability, progress and cooperation. Precisely, the international organizations like the World Bank and the United Nations should be concerned over Indian {ill} mindset of India which it has been exhibiting, among other things, toward the Indus Waters Treaty and come forward to mediate the issue which spoils peace and stability of the region.
