India has announced that it will stop it water from flowing over international borders."Now, India's water will flow for India's benefit, it will be conserved for India's benefit, and it will be used for India's progress",

Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a significant change in India's water policy, stating that the nation's water resources will now be exclusively utilized for national benefit and not allowed to flow outside the country.

In an apparent reference to the Indus Waters Treaty being put in abeyance, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said earlier even the water which rightfully belonged to India went outside the country but it will now flow for India's benefit and will be utilised for the country.
