The two-day 113th meeting of Permanent Indus Commission between Pakistan and India begins in Islamabad today. A 10-member Indian delegation, led by Indus Water Commissioner PK Saxena, External Affairs Ministry officials and technical experts, will participate in the meeting. The Pakistan side will be headed by Indus Water Commissioner Mirza Asif Saeed.<br/><br/>The Indus Water Commission was set up following the Indus Waters Treaty signed by the two countries in 1960 after the World Bank succeeded in getting them reach an agreement on a water-sharing formula. A meeting planned in September last year was cancelled due to the Uri terror attack by Pakistan-based outfits.
