The Ministry of External Affairs on Wednesday announced a slew of decisions taken at the Cabinet Committee on Security chaired by PM Narendra Modi at his residence, which included the temporary suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan.

Addressing the press briefing after the conclusion of the meeting of the CCS at 7 LKM, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri also announced the immediate closure of the Integrated Check Post at Wagah-Attari border. "Those who have crossed over with valid endorsements may return through that route before May 1," he said.

Misri said that Pakistani nationals will not be permitted to travel to India under the SAARC Visa Exemption Scheme (SVES) visas. He further stated that any SVES visas issued in the past to Pakistani nationals are deemed cancelled.

The decisions have been made in the wake of the dastardly terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, which has claimed 26 lives, mostly tourists. The Resistance Front, a proxy for Pakistan-sponsored Lashkar-e-Toiba, has claimed responsibility for the attack.

Here are the major announcements made by the MEA:

1- Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan held in abeyance. With this, the water supply from the Indus River and its distributaries - the Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas, and Satluj will be stopped.

2- Pakistani nationals will not be permitted to travel to India under the SAARC Visa Exemption Scheme (SVES) visas. Any SVES visas issued in the past to Pakistani nationals are deemed cancelled. Any Pakistani national currently in India under an SVES visa has 48 hours to leave India.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah briefed the meeting after he visited Jammu and Kashmir.
