Indo-Pakistani water dispute of 1948
India and Pakistan had a dispute over the sharing of
Ferozepur Headworks.[1] It was resumed after five weeks when Pakistan agreed to attend an Inter-Dominion conference to negotiate an agreement.[2][3] The critical nature of the Indian action caused deep apprehensions in Pakistan, which were eventually resolved only with the signing of the Indus Waters Treaty in 1960.[4]
