💨 Abstract

Following a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan. World Bank President Ajay Banga clarified that the bank's role is merely as a facilitator and it will not intervene in the treaty suspension. The treaty, signed in 1960 with World Bank involvement, allocates specific rivers to each country. India's Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri accused Pakistan of repeatedly violating the treaty and creating legal obstacles.
