Marala–Ravi Link Canal

It was constructed in 1956 to transfer water from Chenab to Ravi as well as to irrigate about 60,000 hectares of land in the Sialkot and Gurjanwala districts.

[1][2] It is 100 kilometres (62 mi) long and has a capacity 22,000 cubic feet per second (620 m3/s).

[3] The banks of the canal have no fencing and are in dilapidated condition[4] as they have not been repaired since its construction in 1954.

[6] During the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965, the Indian forces strategised to reach up to the MRL canal, driving a wedge between Sialkot and Lahore.

[7] During initial filling of Baglihar Dam in 2008, the canal was closed allegedly due to the non-availability of water in Chenab.
