India's water minister CR Patil has declared that "not a single drop of water" will flow into Pakistan, saying the country is "actively working" on the directive following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's orders. The statement comes after India suspended its membership in the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty — which governs shared use of six rivers flowing from India into Pakistan — in the wake of a deadly attack on tourists in Kashmir in April 2025. Experts caution that India's current infrastructure cannot immediately block flows and that any major diversion project would take years to complete, but Pakistan has warned that any attempt to alter cross-border waterways would be treated as an act of war.
