n a significant move that raises regional alarm, India has suspended its participation in the Indus Waters Treaty, following a deadly attack in Pahalgam which it claims was orchestrated from Pakistan. The treaty, originally signed in 1960, governs water-sharing rights over the Indus River system between the two countries.
In response to India’s move, China has fast-tracked work on a critical dam project in northern Pakistan, signaling closer cooperation between Beijing and Islamabad in infrastructure and strategic projects. This marks a new chapter in regional water politics, heightening geopolitical tensions in South Asia.
