| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The Indus Treaty is stable due to its mechanism it survived after three wars. Now there is demand in Pakistan for the abrogation of the treaty, because it gives upper hand to India. After the 1996 treaty Bangladesh is demanding agreement on Teesta River but it is not easy to sign it. The interests of the West Bengal are important. The ruling party, BJP, wants Mamta Banergee's support in Rajyasabha. Both countries signed more treaties more agreements and MOUs on the Ganges river water sharing. India is not happy with Nepal about water and Hydropower sharing. Tanakpur and Karnali projects were difficult to implement. |
