India postpones tour to Pakistan for Indus River basin inspection

Amid heightened tensions between New Delhi-Islamabad, a reciprocal visit by the Indian team to Pakistan for inspection of projects in Indus river basin this month has been postponed, senior officials said today. During the 115th meeting of Permanent Indus Commission held in Lahore from August 29-30, 2018, both the commissioners had agreed to undertake the treaty-mandated tours of the Indus basin on both sides.

Information
Pakistani team visited India in the last week of January

The tour of the Pakistani side was originally scheduled in October 2018 but was postponed because of local bodies elections in Jammu and Kashmir. Subsequently, the Pakistani-team visited India in the last week of January to inspect projects in the Chenab basin in the state.

Visit
Pakistani delegation visited under-construction Indian hydropower projects in Chenab basin

Pakistani Indus Commissioner Syed Mohammad Mehar Ali Shah and Indian Commissioner PK Saxena along with respective advisers had visited the under-construction Indian hydropower projects in Chenab basin namely Pakal Dul (1000 MW), Ratle (850 MW) and Lower Kalnai (48 MW). The delegation had also visited the under-operation Baglihar hydroelectric project (900 MW). Shah then invited his Indian counterpart to visit basin on Pakistani side.

Invite
The visit has to take place by March 2020: Official

The Pakistani commissioner extended an invitation to his counterpart to undertake a visit of the Indus basin on Pakistani side. The Indian team was supposed to visit Pakistan this month, a senior official said, adding, "But amid the ongoing tension it has now been postponed." The official remained non-committal about the date but said the visit has to take place by March 2020.

Article VIII
PCIW was signed between India and Pakistan in 1960

Under Article VIII of the treaty, both commissioners are mandated to undertake, once every five years, a general tour of inspection of the rivers for ascertaining the facts connected with various developments and works on both sides. The current five-year block ends in March, 2020. The Pakistan Commissioner for Indus Waters (PCIW), formed under the Indus Waters Treaty, was signed between India-Pakistan in 1960.

Details
Treaty specifies water bodies reserved for India and Pakistan

The treaty, which includes Indus commissioners of both countries, also provides for both the commissioners to meet at least once every year, alternately in India and Pakistan. It specifies that the waters of three eastern rivers namely Ravi, Beas and Sutlej, have been reserved for India while that of western rivers, namely Indus, Chenab and Jhelum, are for Pakistan.
