PM Modi to discuss Indus Water Treaty with Uma Bharti and officials on Monday

The 56-year-old Indus Water Treaty is in limbo as Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called a meeting on Monday with Water Resources Minister Uma Bharti & senior officials to discuss the matter after the Uri attacks.

PM Modi and officials will discuss the pros and cons of the treaty.

Under the treaty, which was signed by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Pakistan President Ayub Khan in September 1960, water of six river - Beas, Ravi, Sutlej, Indus, Chenab and Jhelum - were to be shared between the two countries.

Pakistan has been complaining of not receiving enough water and gone for international arbitration in couple of cases.

Meanwhile, the officials of the ministries of Water Resources and External Affairs denied any such knowledge of a meeting being convened by the Prime Minister.
