On April 1, 1948, India cut off the supply of water to Pakistan, from the two head works under her control.

	The beautiful valley of Chitral acceded to Pakistan

	The waters of river Jhelum, river Chenab and river Indus were given to Pakistan under the Indus Basin Water treaty

The issue was resolved only after the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, facilitated the drawing up of a treaty, which was accepted by both governments in 1952, as the 'Indus Water Treaty'.
