India and Pakistan had a dispute over the sharing of [[water rights]] to the [[Indus River]] and its tributaries in April 1948, about eight months after their independence. The [[East Punjab]] province of India shut off water running to the [[West Punjab]] province of Pakistan via the main branches of the [[Upper Bari Doab Canal]] as well as the Dipalpur Canal from the [[Ferozepur]] Headworks.{{sfnp|Salman & Uprety, Conflict and Cooperation|2002|pp=42–43}} It was resumed after five weeks when Pakistan agreed to attend an Inter-Dominion conference to negotiate an agreement.{{sfnp|Salman & Uprety, Conflict and Cooperation|2002|pp=43–44}}{{sfnp|Gilmartin, Blood and Water|2020|pp=210–211}} The critical nature of the Indian action caused deep apprehensions in Pakistan, which were eventually resolved only with the signing of the [[Indus Waters Treaty]] in 1960.<ref>{{harvp|Gilmartin, Blood and Water|2020|p=211}}: 'The stoppage of canal water, perhaps more than any other single event in the first year of Pakistan’s existence, gave Radcliffe’s artificial line simultaneous "natural" and "national" meaning'.</ref><br />
