A key pact to share water between India and Pakistan remains suspended, four government sources said to Reuters, despite the fact that countries reached a high fire agreement on Saturday after days of mortal fighting.
The Treaty of the Water of the Indo, mediated by the World Bank in 1960, regulates the Division of the Water of the Indo River and its tributaries between the nations of southern Asia.
India retired last month after a deadly attack aimed at Hindu tourists in Kashmir who, he said, was backed by Islamabad.
Pakistan denied participation in violence and had said that he was preparing international legal actions on the suspension of the treaty, which guarantees water for 80% of its farms.
“The Treaty of the Indo’s waters was not really a part of the discussions (Alto El Fuego),” said a source of the Ministry of Water in Pakistan.
A source from the Indian government also told Reuters that there was no change in the stand “in the treaty.
There was no immediate response from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of India on the matter, or from the officials of the Ministry of Water of Pakistan and the Minister of Information.
The pact was one of the many Tit-For-OT measures taken by the nations of southern Asia after the Kashmir attack, including the closure of terrestrial borders, the suspension of trade and a break about the issuance of almost all categories of visas to the citizens of others.
Two sources from the Indian government told Reuters that all measures taken against Pakistan, even in commerce and visas, would remain in place despite the pause in violence between countries.
The Indian Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not immediately respond to a request for comments on the matter.
India and Pakistan had participated in daily clashes since Wednesday, when India reached multiple locations in Pakistan who, he said, were “terrorist camps.”
The fighting stopped on Saturday night with the countries that reached what Pakistan described a “high fire agreement” and India called an agreement to “stop all military and shot actions.”
