A key water-sharing pact between India and Pakistan remains suspended despite the countries reaching a ceasefire agreement on Saturday after days of deadly fighting, UK news agency Reuters reported on Sunday.
India pulled out of it last month after a deadly attack targeting Hindu tourists in Kashmir that it said was backed by Islamabad.
Pakistan denied involvement in the violence and had said it was preparing international legal action over the suspension of the treaty, which ensures water for 80% of its farms.
“Indus Waters Treaty was not really a part of (ceasefire) discussions,” Reuters reported quoting a source from Pakistan’s water ministry.
An Indian government source also told Reuters there was “no change in stand” on the treaty.
The Indus Waters Treaty, mediated by the World Bank in 1960, regulates the division of water from the Indus River and its tributaries between the South Asian nations.
