📌 Summary:
- The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) called "baseless" Pakistani media reports alleging India is deliberately creating a flood situation in Pakistan's Punjab by increasing Chenab river flow
- MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said India will continue to share "high-flood data" with Pakistan on "humanitarian grounds"
- Crucially, officials clarified that the NON-OPERATIONAL status of the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) has NOT impacted water-related cooperation between the two sides
- India shared flood-related data at least 23 times in 2025 alone
- Context: India placed the IWT in abeyance after the Pahalgam/terror-linked tensions; this signals India distinguishes treaty suspension from humanitarian flood-warning cooperation
