In response to India's warning, Pakistan evacuated more than 150,000 people due to the risk of rising river levels caused by monsoon rains. According to reports, the evacuation was carried out mainly in the Punjab province, where the population density is the highest.
According to Reuters, this is the first bilateral communication between Pakistan and India after the border conflicts, and there are some political issues related to the relations and representation between the two countries.
Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs criticized India's warning about the flood risk, emphasizing that it was communicated not through diplomatic channels but through informal means. Ministry spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan stated that delivering this information not through the India’s Water Resources Commission, but through informal channels, may violate international agreements.
This situation will undoubtedly lead to further clarifications on crucial issues related to water resources for both Pakistan and India.
