Claim

The Indus Waters Treaty was mediated/brokered by the World Bank.

“औद्योगिक संधि विश्व बैंक की मध्यस्थता से हुई थी”

Rationale

The claim is historically correct. The Indus Waters Treaty between India and Pakistan was negotiated over roughly nine years (1952–1960) with the World Bank, under President Eugene Black, acting as mediator/broker; the Bank is itself a party to the treaty's procedural provisions and signed the 1960 document. The spoken phrase 'औद्योगिक संधि' (industrial treaty) appears to be a transcription error for 'सिंधु जल संधि' (Indus Waters Treaty), but the substantive claim about World Bank mediation is accurate.
