Indus Water Treaty

Parliamentary panel recommends renegotiation of Indus Water Treaty

The Committee observed that although the Indus Water Treaty has stood the test of time, it "was framed on the basis of knowledge and technology existing at the time of its agreement in the 1960s" when the perspective of both the nations at that time was confined to river management and usage of water through the construction of dams, barrages, canals and hydro-power generation.
