No agreement reached at Indus Waters Treaty talks: World Bank:

The latest round of Indo-Pak talks on the Indus Waters Treaty have ended without any agreement, the World Bank has said, while emphasising that it
will continue to work with complete impartiality in fulfilling its responsibilities under the pact.

The second round of discussions between India and Pakistan on Ratle and Kishanganga hydroelectric projects, over which Islamabad has raised objections, took place at the World Bank headquarters on September 14 and 15 under the aegis of the World Bank.

"While an agreement has not been reached at the conclusion of the meetings, the World Bank will continue to work with both countries to resolve the issues in an amicable manner and in line with the Treaty provisions," the World Bank said in a statement.

"Both countries and the World Bank appreciated the discussions and reconfirmed their commitment to the preservation of the Treaty," it said after the conclusion of the Secretary-level discussions between the two countries on the technical issues of the Kishenganga and Ratle hydroelectric power plants within the framework of the Indus Waters Treaty.

The World Bank remains committed to act in good faith and with "complete impartiality and transparency" in fulfilling its responsibilities under the Treaty, while continuing to assist the countries, it said in its statement.

Modi blabbers a lot for votes.
But this is cheating of his own citizens by misguiding them.

Neheruji made this blunder who invited world bank made this treaty.
Both countries can withdraw from the IWT any time and cease to abide by its terms, on the grounds of fundamental change of circumstance. Now, it is clear that these fundamental changes have, indeed, taken place, but the truth is that it is almost impossible to exercise such an option.

China should threat India to have a fair share of hindusriver water with Pakistan， otherwise we’ll do something...

The source of the water is actually from China/Nepal, we can do something about this.

Stopping flow of water to Pakistan will only result in war and a big one. Modi knows that.

Why does World Bank want to broker Indus water talks between India and Pakistan

The IWT has been in force for decades without any provision for suspension or termination, nor withdrawal. It is silent on denunciation — meaning, it cannot be unilaterally denounced, except if India and Pakistan intend to admit such a suggestion – as well as withdrawal, and in fact aims at establishing a perpetual water-sharing regime. Because it deals with sharing international river waters, it is expected to indefinitely remain in force.

India is sharing water with Pakistan. What's the issue here? Pakistan has habit of whining for no reason. In Pakistani news debates most experts are blaming their government for not building Dams in last 4-5 decades. Go to youtube and see "pakistani experts" criticizing their own country. These people are obsessed with India.
