India rejects Hague court’s Indus Waters Treaty ruling

India on Monday rejected an award by a World Bank-constituted Court of Arbitration on the Indus Waters Treaty, saying the body was “illegally constituted” and had no jurisdiction over New Delhi’s sovereign decisions.

The Ministry of External Affairs said the court’s present or future pronouncements would have no effect on India’s hydro-electric projects on the western rivers. “India’s decision to hold the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance remains in force,” it said. India has never recognised the court and has not appeared before it.

The tribunal had ruled that the 1960 pact remained fully in force and that India’s April 2025 decision to place it in abeyance was not permitted under the treaty or international law. It also addressed interim measures on hydropower works, including Ratle.

Army pilots evacuate casualty at 18,600 feet near Nun Kun

Indian Army Aviation pilots evacuated a casualty from 18,600 feet near the Nun Kun massif in Ladakh, holding a helicopter on a steep snow slope with one skid because there was no place to land.

The Fire and Fury Corps said the Saturday rescue was carried out in strong winds and fading daylight, in the last available landing window of the day. Crews had stripped the helicopter of non-essential equipment and flown with limited fuel to keep lift at an altitude where thin air cuts engine power.

On the slope, the pilots held a low hover with one skid touching the snow so the casualty could be taken aboard. The Tribune reported that Cheetah helicopters were used. The Army described the operation as a testament to the skill, courage and compassion of Army Aviation.

The bank said in a stock-exchange filing on Saturday that directors had tried to persuade him to stay. “Despite persuasion, Mr Jagdishan reiterated his decision to not seek reappointment,” it said. He will leave at the close of business on 26 October, when his second three-year term ends. The board said it would fast-track the search for a successor.

Jagdishan, 61, took over from Aditya Puri in October 2020. He has been with the bank since 1996 and oversaw its merger with Housing Development Finance Corporation, completed in 2023. The Financial Times reported that the lender’s shares have fallen 27 per cent this year, and that his exit follows the resignation of chairman Atanu Chakraborty earlier in 2026.

The award, the ‘Oliy Darajali Do’stlik’ Order (Order of Highest Friendship), was presented at the Kuksaroy Presidential Palace during Modi’s two-day visit. The Prime Minister’s Office said it is Uzbekistan’s highest honour for foreign leaders and recognised his role in strengthening ties.

Modi dedicated the honour to 1.4 billion Indians. “Honoured to receive the ‘Oliy Darajali Do’stlik’ Order. I dedicate this to the enduring bond between India and Uzbekistan,” he posted. He noted that Indians know the word ‘Dostlik’, which means friendship, and said the award was not a personal honour but one for the country.

The ceremony followed talks in which India and Uzbekistan agreed to elevate relations to a comprehensive strategic partnership, with a $5 billion bilateral trade target by 2030. Modi is due in Kyrgyzstan for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit on 31 August–1 September.

I was completely shocked,” PTI and The Tribune quoted him as saying. He added he had not lost a series in two years and had won the World Cup and Asia Cup.
