Teesta is NOT a river covered under the Indus Water Treaty 1960.

The Indus Water Treaty, signed between India and Pakistan in 1960, pertains to the distribution of water from the Indus River system, which includes the Indus and its tributaries. The treaty divides the rivers into two groups: the ‘Eastern Rivers’ (Ravi, Beas, and Sutlej) allocated for India’s unrestricted use, and the ‘Western Rivers’ (Indus, Jhelum, and Chenab) primarily allocated for Pakistan’s use, with limited rights for India.

The Teesta River is a major river in the Eastern Himalayas, flowing through the Indian states of Sikkim and West Bengal and then through Bangladesh before joining the Brahmaputra River. It is part of the Brahmaputra river system, not the Indus river system, and therefore is not covered by the Indus Water Treaty. Water sharing of the Teesta is a subject of discussion and negotiation between India and Bangladesh.
