US EditionIndia warns Pakistan of flood threat in first known official contact for months
India issued a humanitarian flood alert to Pakistan on Aug 24, marking the first major contact since May's conflict amid monsoon rains causing over 780 deaths in Pakistan, officials said.
- On August 24, India warned Pakistan of a possible major flood in the Tawi River at Jammu, conveyed by the Indian High Commission in Islamabad as the first contact since the May military conflict.
- An Indian official said the alert was shared on `humanitarian grounds` as monsoon rains batter Pakistan, with the National Disaster Management Authority warning of rainfall until August 30.
- The Indian High Commission in Islamabad relayed the warning at 10 am on August 24, prompting Pakistan's federal and provincial departments, including NDMA and military engineering units, to prepare.
- The alert landed against the backdrop of the treaty's suspension as India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty earlier this year until Pakistan `credibly and irrevocably abjures` terrorism support, while Pakistan reiterated commitment to the IWT and warned diversion would be an `act of war`.
- Pakistan's agriculture, reliant on irrigation for nearly 80% of output, faces acute exposure as water at a key receiving point fell by up to 90% in early May after Indian maintenance work on Indus projects.
