It has long been considered one of the most durable water-sharing agreements in the world, despite ongoing political tensions between the two countries.
Imran Abbas’s remarks come amid renewed public debate over international water rights, environmental concerns and cross-border resource management in South Asia.
The actor’s comments have sparked discussion on social media with many users appreciating his awareness of geopolitical and environmental issues beyond the entertainment industry.
