This thread is quite entertaining and nauseating at the same time.
Apart from the sheer drivel written till now about everything from water wars to turning Pakistan into a desert. the scope of the Notice is as follows.
India’s Indus Commissioner issued a notice to Pakistani counterpart to notify a date for the commencement of interstate bilateral negotiations to rectify an ongoing material breach of the Indus Water treaty,
What:
Notice issued to notify a date for the commencement of interstate bilateral negotiations
Why:
To rectify an ongoing material breach of the Indus Water treaty by Pakistan.
In 2015, Pakistan requested the appointment of a Neutral Expert to examine its technical objections to India’s Kishenganga and Ratle Hydro Electric Projects (HEPs). In 2016, Pakistan unilaterally retracted this request and proposed that a Court of Arbitration adjudicate its objections.
How:
Pakistan, despite repeated efforts by India to find a mutually agreeable way forward, has refused to discuss the issue during the five meetings of the Permanent Indus Commission from 2017 to 2022.
The World Bank at Pakistan’s continued insistence initiated actions on both the Neutral Expert and Court of Arbitration processes. Such parallel consideration of the same issues is not covered under any provision of IWT.
@SQ8 @VCheng @jaibi
There are two mechanisms offered Nuetral expert or Court of arbitration. You cannot have both running at the same time. India's notice is to fix the violations of IWT by Pakistan.
Lets come to what it is not:
NOT
NOT
Not
Nope
Nope
And straight up not any of the below, Notice is exactly as stated above.
Now if there are any takers to discuss the subject on merit, that would be interesting,
If not let's enjoy all of the fictional dramatizations of a very mundane bureaucratic issue.
