Bambawali-Ravi-Bedian Canal

Bambanwala-Ravi-Bedian Canal, BRB Canal begins near Daska at the point of Bambanwala Village from Upper Chenab Canal and passing through the city of Daska and east side of the city of Lahore , Punjab, Pakistan it ends at the Satluj River near Kanghan Pur 100km south of Lahore. It is the source of the Lahore Canal which (from the BRB Canal) runs westwards to the city.

Construction

The canal was built by the residents of Lahore on the insistence of the then Chief Minister of Punjab Nawab Iftikhar Hussain Khan of Mamdot to protect the city from Indian aggression. The fact that the Government of Punjab could not afford to pay them, and the honesty associated with Nawab Iftikhar Hussain Khan of Mamdot and his father Sir Nawab Shahnawaz Khan of Mamdot, not one person hesitated and the entire canal was built within a short span of a few days.
