India must limit work on a hydroelectric plant in the Kashmir region and uphold its water treaty with Pakistan, the Permanent Court of Arbitration ruled on Monday afternoon. The Hague-based tribunal stated the Indus Waters Treaty remains fully in force despite New Delhi's suspension. The decision prevents unilateral changes to long-standing transboundary water management in the Himalayan region.
