Pakistan has expressed concern over sudden changes in the flow of Indus waters between December 7 and December 15, accusing India of releasing water without prior warning. India has not yet responded formally to the letter by Pakistan's Indus Water Commissioner to his counterpart in New Delhi. India had unilaterally suspended the 65-year-old Indus Water Treaty (IWT) following a terrorist attack on April 22 that killed 26 people in Kashmir. Addressing a gathering of foreign diplomats on Friday, Pakistan's Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar said the country had made an official communication to India in this regard. However, the treaty was put on hold after the aforementioned terrorist attack, which prompted India to conduct a military operation deep within Pakistan targeting terrorist camps under ‘Operation Sindoor.’
