According to details, in his message on the occasion of World Water Day, the President said that the Indus Waters Treaty ensures fair distribution of water in the region, and India’s suspension of the agreement is condemnable. He emphasized that India should fully restore its implementation.

In his statement, the President said that in many areas of Pakistan, people are مجبور (forced) to rely on unsafe water sources, while the burden of lack of access to clean water falls more heavily on women and girls, who spend valuable time fetching water.
