India serves formal notice to Pakistan for Indus Water Treaty changes
New Delhi: India has served a formal notice to Pakistan, seeking review and modification of the Indus Water Treaty under Article XII (3) of the Indus Water Treaty (IWT) following Islamabad’s rigid stance over handling disputes of cross-border rivers and cross-border terror.

With the notification served on August 30, India has called Pakistan to begin G2G negotiations in order to review IWT under the provisions of Article XII (3). Under Article XII (3) of the IWT, its provision may from time-to-time be modified by a duly ratified treaty concluded for that purpose between the two governments, sources said.

The notification was issued in the background of a separate prolonged controversy with respect to the Kishanganga and Ratle Hydro projects.
