India-PAK: Pakistan has recently faced an increase in natural disasters. Floods in several regions have caused over 300 deaths. In this difficult time, India has provided Pakistan with information regarding potential flooding in the Tawi River. This step is considered the first contact between officials of both countries after Operation Sindoor.
First Initiative After Operation Sindoor
After the Pahalgam terrorist attack on April 22, India took several steps against Pakistan. During this period, India had suspended the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty. Despite this, India took the step of sharing potential flood information with Pakistan. This is considered a symbol of humanity and responsibility towards neighboring countries.
Tawi River and Potential Threat
The Tawi River originates in Jammu and flows into the Punjab province of Pakistan. Based on data from the Meteorological Department and the Water Resources Department, India has warned Pakistan that the water level in the river may rise and a flood situation may arise. The aim of this step is to reduce damage and save lives.
Contact Between Officials of Both Countries
According to sources, the first contact between Indian and Pakistani officials has been established in this matter. Indian officials provided information on the potential flood threat and suggested that vigilance should be exercised in the affected areas beforehand. This initiative is considered important for security and humanitarian reasons.
Media Reports and Official Information
Although there has been no official confirmation of this development from either India or Pakistan. According to media reports, the Indian High Commission in Islamabad warned Pakistan about the flood threat. Usually, such information is shared through the Indus Water Commissioner.
Suspended Status of the Indus Waters Treaty
The Indus Waters Treaty was created in 1960 between India and Pakistan for the sharing of water resources. This treaty is suspended, but despite this, India warned Pakistan of the flood. This indicates that cooperation between the two countries is possible in humanitarian and security matters.
Pakistan Affected by Floods
Floods have caused heavy devastation in Pakistan. Many lives have been lost, and homes, roads, and crops have been destroyed in many areas. In this difficult time, the importance of information and warnings increases. This step from India is an example of a humanitarian perspective and responsibility towards neighboring countries.
