        promises to honour Indus treatyDenies diverting Ravi, Sutlej
        waters
 Wagah (Amritsar), October 19
 The Pakistan Commissioner for Indus
        Water, Mr Syed Jamaiat Ali Shah, today promised that the Government of
        Pakistan would not violate the Indus water treaty, signed in 1960
        between India and Pakistan, at any cost as mutual trust between both the
        neighbouring countries would go a long way to exploit the six-river
        basin, comprising Jhelum, Chenab, Sindh, Beas, Ravi and Sutlej for the
        benefit of humanity.
