Question 9:
India and Pakistan have discussed the exchange of hydrological and flood data at a meeting of the Permanent Indus Commission during which the Indian side underscored that all its projects are fully compliant with the provisions of the Indus Waters Treaty.
During the 117th meeting of the Permanent Indus Commission comprising Indus commissioners of India and Pakistan, held from March 1-3 in (I), both sides discussed the issue of the Fazilka drain, and Pakistan assured that all necessary action will continue to be taken to ensure the free flow of Fazilka drain into the river (II), the Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement.
The Indian delegation was led by P K Saxena, the Indian Commissioner for Indus Waters. This was also the first that the three women members were part of the Indian delegation.
The technical discussions were held regarding ongoing projects including Pakal Dul, Kiru and Lower Kalnai, the statement said.
The Indian side underscored that all its projects are fully compliant with the provisions of the treaty and provided technical details in support of its position, the MEA said.
Sources privy to the meeting said on Kiru, both sides exchanged their positions.
"Rejecting Pakistan's arguments, India asserted that its design is fully compliant with the treaty at the same time, Indian side is open to discussions and suggestions and can consider to examine any practical suggestion within the realm of the position on the ground and without compromising on her rights as provided under the treaty," one of the sources said.
The commission discussed the exchange of hydrological and flood data.
"India continues to meet all its obligations under the Treaty, however, if Pakistan requests to provide information beyond the Treaty provisions, India may examine the same as a gesture of goodwill," the source said.
Noting that the meeting was held in a cordial manner, the MEA said both the commissioners reaffirmed their commitment to interact more frequently in an attempt to resolve issues through bilateral discussions under the treaty.
It was agreed to hold the next meeting of the permanent commission in New Delhi on mutually convenient dates. Under the provisions of the Indus Waters Treaty, signed between India and Pakistan in (III), the two commissioners are required to meet at least once every year, alternately in India and Pakistan.
The last meeting of the Permanent Indus Commission was held in (IV) at New Delhi.
