Explanation
The Indus Waters Treaty was signed in 1960 between India and Pakistan to resolve disputes over the sharing of the Indus River system's waters. The treaty was brokered by the World Bank, acting as a neutral third party. It allocated the waters of the eastern rivers (Ravi, Beas, Sutlej) to India and the western rivers (Indus, Jhelum, Chenab) to Pakistan.
