Overview

• WION reports that India used its High Commission in Islamabad to warn Pakistan about a looming flood on the Tawi River rather than the treaty’s Indus Water Commissioner channel.
• India Today, citing Pakistani media, says the alert was conveyed on the morning of August 24, and neither government has issued an official confirmation.
• The Indus Waters Treaty remains in abeyance after the April Pahalgam terror attack, interrupting routine cross-border hydrological information exchanges.
• Jammu recorded 190.4 mm of rain in 24 hours, inundating several neighborhoods and swelling the Tawi, Chenab, Ujh, Ravi, and Basantar rivers.
• If confirmed, the notification would represent the first significant bilateral contact of this type since the May conflict following the Pahalgam attack.
