Ganga Water Treaty Talks Stay Quiet Weeks Before Expiry
India's foreign ministry says a structured mechanism for the Ganga Water Treaty remains in place, even though the pact is set to expire in a few weeks. Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said India has invited Bangladesh's Prime Minister to visit New Delhi. He added there is no update on renewing the treaty or on dates for the trip.
