Army’s top brass affirms commitment to take 'all measures necessary' to ensure Pakistan's water share

The army’s top brass on Monday expressed its “resolute commitment to undertake all measures necessary to ensure availability of Pakistan’s rightful share of water”.

The development came as Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) and Chief of the Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir presided over the 276th Corps Commanders’ Conference (CCC) at General Headquarters (GHQ) in Rawalpindi, according to a statement by Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).

“The Forum, taking note of Indian rhetoric surrounding the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT), reaffirmed the guidance given in the National Security Committee (NSC) directive” of April 24, 2025, which followed India’s unilateral move to put the treaty in abeyance.

“The Forum expressed resolute commitment to undertake all measures necessary to ensure availability of Pakistan’s rightful share of water as per the directives of the Government and inspirations of the people of Pakistan,” the statement read.
