Head Baloki History

The 1st irrigation project that was implemented in Punjab was UBDC (Upper Bari Doab Canal), constructed in 1875 and the ‘Triple Canals Project’ was the 2nd project that started in 1905. The following three canals were constructed:

  1. The LBDC (Lower Bari Doab Canal) from Balloki
  2. UCC (Upper Chenab Canal) from Marala
  3. The UJC (Upper Jhelum Canal) from Mangla

The Lower Bari and Upper Chenab were connected: In addition to transporting water from Chenab to Ravi, the canal irrigated land along the way. After water extraction for Upper Bari Canal, it was inevitable because the leftover water in Ravi was inadequate for the Lower Bari Canal.

It was the root of the link canal’s idea, which brought water from western rivers into Punjab’s eastern rivers and later and became the base for the ‘Indus Waters Treaty between Pakistan and India.

Construction of Balloki Barrage

The Balloki Barrage was built where the Upper Chenab met the Ravi river, some miles west of Balloki village. At the time, it was India’s biggest barrage of its type. It had a sixteen-hundred and forty-seven feet-long weir, including thirty-five, twelve-meter-broad steel gates for controlling Ravi’s water.

On the left side of the barrage, the Lower Bari Doab Canal (LBDC) diverged. In 1912, the canal began supplying water and was completed in 1917. In the Multan and Montgomery districts, it watered 877,000 acres of land.

Balloki Power Plant

The Balloki Power Plant, near Phool Nagar in Punjab province, is a 1,223-Megawatt power station that was completed in 2018. Then PM Nawaz Sharif laid the foundation of this project on 11th November 2015, and it was due to be finished by Dec 2017.

The project’s main fuel would be RLNG (regasified liquefied natural gas), with diesel as a substitute. Between the grid station and the new plant in southern Lahore, a forty-km long transmission line having a 500-kilovolt capacity will be built.

Financing for Balloki Power Plant

The project’s plans opt for the involvement of the private sector in the plant’s construction, with the private firm then supplying electricity to Pakistan’s government at a pre-negotiated price.
