Farmers in Pakistan are facing a crisis of sowing crops due to lack of water. Pakistan’s Indus River System Authority (IRSA) estimates that the flow of Indus, Jhelum and Chenab rivers in the country has decreased by 21%. Less than 50% water is left in the major dams Mangla and Tarbela located in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa state. According to IRSA, the total water availability in Punjab on June 2, 2025 was only 1,28,800 cusecs, which is 14,800 cusecs less than last year. At the same time, according to the Government of Pakistan, by June 2, 2025, the availability of water in the Indus river system in Punjab province has decreased by 10.3% compared to last year. Officials say that after the suspension of the Indus Water Treaty, India will no longer share water flow data with Pakistan. This will also make flood management difficult during the rainy season. It will take 4 weeks for the monsoon to reach Pakistan. An anti-cyclone has formed over Pakistan. Due to this, many areas are facing severe heat. There is a 16-hour power cut in many areas of Balochistan, due to which it has become even more difficult to bear the heat. It will take 4 weeks for the southwest monsoon to reach Pakistan, so the coming weeks can be even more difficult. India had stopped the Indus Water Treaty after the Pahalgam attack. On April 22, 5 terrorists shot dead 26 tourists in Pahalgam, Kashmir. The next day, in a meeting chaired by PM Narendra Modi, India took 5 big decisions to teach Pakistan a lesson. In this, the 65-year-old Indus Water Treaty was stopped. Attari check post was closed. Visas were stopped and high commissioners were removed. After this, on May 7, India destroyed many terrorist bases in Pakistan by air strike under ‘Operation Sindoor’. There was conflict between the two countries for 4 days, after which US President Trump informed about the ceasefire through a social media post on May 10.
