From Indus Water Treaty to Simla Agreement: A look at key pacts signed between India and Pakistan

In a strong retaliatory move following the brutal terror strike in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam that claimed the lives of 26 tourists, India has suspended the Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan. The decision came in response to the broad-daylight carnage carried out by The Resistance Front (TRF), a terror group known as the offshoot of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). In addition to suspending the decades-old water-sharing pact, the Indian government has also revoked visas issued to Pakistani nationals under the SAARC Visa Exemption Scheme, which facilitates easier cross-border travel for select individuals. All Pakistani travellers scheduled to visit India under this programme will now be barred from entry.
