[3][5] The Ichogil Canal was constructed by the Pakistani government in the 1950's partly as a defensive obstacle to prevent an hypothetical invasion of Lahore.

India claimed that on 16 September, its soldiers had crossed the canal and were just six miles from the city of Lahore.

The Indian attempts to advance on the Harike-Burki road, according to Pakistan's spokesman, had been thwarted.

India attempted thirteen major offensives on this front, all of which Pakistan repelled successfully.
