A claim from Delhi comes a year after India announced that it will suspend the decades-old river-sharing treaty with Pakistan.
India is working to stop water from flowing into its neighbour Pakistan after suspending a major river-sharing treaty between the two Asian rivals last year, a senior minister has said.
India last year suspended the 1960 Indus Water treaty with Pakistan following an attack in Kashmir that killed 26 people.
A federal minister in the Indian government said New Delhi was working to ensure “not a single drop of water” would flow into Pakistan. The two countries have been engaged in a diplomatic standoff over cross-border militancy and clashes for more than a year after a brief four-day conflict in May 2025.
“It still stands; rather, the treaty has been kept in abeyance. And since Prime Minister (Narendra) Modi took this decision, every effort is being made to ensure not a single drop flows there. Under the prime minister’s directives, home minister Amit Shah is also personally monitoring the matter, and we are actively working on it,” Indian minister of water CR Patil said on Tuesday.
India and Pakistan are signatories of the treaty governing the use of water from six rivers whose headwaters originate in India but flow into Pakistan due to the Indus basin shared by the two sides.
