- Bambawali-Ravi-Bedian_Canal abstract "Bambawali-Ravi-Bedian Canal or simply, BRB Canal is a long canal on the east side of the city of Lahore. It is the source of the Lahore Canal which (from the BRB Canal) runs westwards to the city. In 1948 the then Chief Minister of West Punjab Nawab Iftikhar Hussain khan of Mamdot. It was built to save the city and the country from Indian aggression. The whole canal was built for free by the residents of Lahore on the insistence of the then Chief Minister to protect the city and the fact that the Punjab govt could not afford to pay them. Due to the honesty associated with Nawab Iftikhar Hussain Khan of Mamdot and his father Sir Nawab Shahnawaz Khan of Momdot that not one person hesitated and the entire canal was built within a short span of a few days.Bambanwala RaviBedian Link Canal (BRB Canal), better known as Ichhogil Canal, is synonymouswith the 1965 Indo-Pak war and Lahore sector of the war. This canal ran 8 km.inside Pakistan and proved to be a formidable defensive structure. The homebank of the canal (on the Lahore side) was lined with concrete pill-boxes withover-lapping arcs of fire. From an army’sstand-point, defensive structures like water canals offer two importantadvantages – (a) economy of forces (b) delaying the advance of the enemy andlimiting his ability to maneuverIn case (a),home bank of the canal can be lined with fortified and concrete defensivepositions in a mutually supporting manner. Given the protection offered by thesestructures, the manpower required is relatively less as compared to say, defendingover an open ground. The manpower and other assets like tanks/mechanizedinfantry can be reserved for counter-attacks on the enemy using these canalbased defenses as firm base.The otherbenefit is that it forces the enemy into expending resources infirst securing its home bank, creating a bridgehead and then securing thebridgehead. Creating and securing bridgeheads is never an easy task against anentrenched enemy and are prone to counter-attacks from the enemy reserves in the areas. The D-Day landings in Normandy were all about creating and securingbridgeheads. All this activity adds to the time component.".
