WB would approve loans if 3 conditions
were met:
• 1)Indus basin had enough water for both countries
• 2) The basin was treated as a single unit implying all the rivers were to be discussed
• 3) Past grievances put aside and technical rather than a political focus retained

• The Indus Water Treaty (1960) signed with India under Stress
• It was a result of Pakistan’s fear that since the source rivers of the Indus basin were in India
![Page 22: Water dispute b/w Indo Pak](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062300/554d79beb4c905390c8b4b99/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Con’tCon’t
• No interference was agreed by India and Pakistan in the natural flows of the western rivers (Indus, Jhelum and Chenab) and eastern rivers (Ravi, Beas and Sutlej), respectively
• Pakistan strongly object to the designs of such projects for having potential to change / disrupt flows downstream
• It is in the interest of India and Pakistan to follow the treaty in letter and spirit

Con’tCon’t
• Undisturbed flow from the western rivers is must for survival of the country – no one should be allowed to play with it as it is matter of life and death for Pakistan.
• We must have a strategy to ensure so. Absence of such strategy could spell disaster for the entire region!!!!
