India Confirms Sharing Flood Warnings With Pakistan Despite Indus Treaty Freeze

New Delhi frames the alerts as humanitarian outreach after suspending the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty over the April Pahalgam attack.

Overview

  • MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said India is providing high‑flood data to Pakistan through the Indian High Commission in Islamabad and other diplomatic channels on humanitarian grounds.
  • The exchanges occur outside Indus Waters Treaty mechanisms, which remain in abeyance following the April attack that killed 26 civilians.
  • Indian alerts were sent in August and, according to Pakistan media, twice in the past 10 days as heavy rains swelled transboundary rivers.
  • Authorities opened the Salal Dam gates in Reasi to manage rising Chenab flows after intense rainfall.
  • India maintains the treaty will stay suspended until Pakistan credibly and irrevocably renounces support for cross‑border terrorism.
