India issued a notice to Pakistan on Wednesday expressing its wish to modify the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) of 1960, blaming the latter for "intransigence" regarding the treaty's implementation. The modification aims at adopting a mechanism for the management of cross-border rivers. The notice says that Pakistan's actions have "adversely impinged on the provisions of IWT and their implementation," forcing India to seek changes.
