India Confirms Flood Data Sharing With Pakistan Through Diplomatic Channels

New Delhi calls the outreach humanitarian, conducted outside the suspended Indus Waters Treaty.

Overview

  • External affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said India has been sending high‑flood readings to Pakistan via the Indian High Commission in Islamabad when required.
  • Officials emphasized the communication is on humanitarian grounds and does not use Indus Waters Commission mechanisms.
  • India placed the 1960 treaty in abeyance after the April Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians.
  • Pakistan acknowledged receiving information through diplomatic channels but said it was less detailed than prior treaty‑based data and urged full IWT compliance.
  • Reports indicate India shared hydrological updates twice in the past 10 days during intense monsoon flooding, with Pakistan reporting heavy casualties and widespread displacement.
