India has continuously violated the Indus Basin Agreement as reports revealed that the Indus Water Commissioners meeting has been delayed since the last two years. It was declared that under the Indus Basin Agreement, a meeting of the India-Pakistan Indus Water Commissioners is required once a year. Pakistan’s Indus Water Commissioner, Mehr Ali Shah, has repeatedly requested a meeting with her Indian counterpart, but no response has been given, the report said. Sources privy to details regarding the Indus Basin Water agreement were of the view that the last meeting of the Indus Water Commissioners took place in New Delhi on May 30 and 31, 2022. The agreement also stipulates that the Indus Water Commissioners should meet alternately in Pakistan and India. The purpose of these meetings is to address bilateral concerns through mutual cooperation. The meetings should also include discussions on flood data, river flow and controversial Indian projects affecting the rivers flowing into Pakistan.
