India has alerted Pakistan about a potential flood in Tawi River, according to a Pakistani news report that cited official sources. Even as the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) remains in abeyance following the Pahalgam terror attack, the report claimed that India contacted Pakistan to share information about possible flooding.
A report from The News, which cited sources, claimed that India conveyed the alert through its High Commission in Islamabad on Sunday. However, neither New Delhi nor Islamabad has issued an official confirmation. The report further said that such information is usually shared through the Indus Water Commissioners under the 1960 treaty.
This is believed to be the first significant contact since the India-Pakistan conflict in May. Following the alert received from India, Pakistani authorities have reportedly issued warnings for vulnerable areas.
After Pahalgam attack, India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty, a World Bank-brokered pact that governs the sharing of the Indus River system , as part of punitive measures against Pakistan.
Recently, Pakistan's national disaster management authority (NDMA) issued a fresh advisory warning of heavy rains across most parts of the country until August 30. The warning follows earlier monsoon spells between June 26 and August 20, which left at least 788 people dead and more than 1,000 injured in Pakistan.
