India has officially warned Pakistan of a possible flood situation under the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT), despite its earlier declaration of suspending the treaty. The alert, issued on August 24 at 10:00 AM, was communicated through formal channels and pertains to rising water levels in the Tawi River near Jammu.
The warning was shared by the Indian High Commission in Islamabad, fulfilling treaty obligations even amid escalating bilateral tensions.

Earlier this year, in April, India announced the suspension of the IWT, ordered Pakistani nationals in India to leave within 48 hours, shut the Attari-Wagah border crossing, and revoked the SAARC visa exemption for Pakistani citizens.
The ongoing water dispute between the two countries intensified in 2016 when Pakistan raised objections over India’s construction of reservoirs on the western rivers. India responded by seeking the appointment of a neutral expert through the Court of Arbitration.
