A British- Era Flood monitoring Check Post on Old route of River Ravi

 Pictures from 2010 to 2021


If one travels on the M-11 motorway from Lahore, the bridge on river Ravi lies roughly at 6 kilometers from the start.

This six-kilometer of road constructed on the old dry bed of the River Ravi. The level of this bed is thirty to forty feet down from the road and was present in the form of dunes. The locals called them 'Ravi Bhela'. For many years it was a hideout for criminals. I am used visiting this area for the last fifteen years without considering harmful consequences in mind.

The topic of discussion here is an old British-era check post that used to be present till the last few years. It was already vandalized years ago and recently I found it disappeared, luckily I have taken a photograph of it a few years back.
