13.Which of the following canal is in Punjab?Which of the following canal is in Punjab?#
Shahpur Kandi Fort stands on the left bank of the Ravi in Pathankot district, close to the Himachal border and just downstream of the Ranjit Sagar dam. It was raised in the sixteenth century by Raja Jaspal Singh Pathania of the Pathania Rajputs of Nurpur and guarded the route between the Punjab plains and the hill states; the Shahpur Kandi dam project on the Ravi takes its name from the place. The other three are famous Punjab forts but on different waters and different towns: Gobindgarh Fort (option 1) is inside Amritsar city, built by the Bhangi misl and rebuilt by Maharaja Ranjit Singh, nowhere near the Ravi's bank; Bahadurgarh Fort (option 3) is at Bahadurgarh near Patiala, associated with Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji's nine-month stay and rebuilt by Maharaja Karam Singh; and Qila Mubarak (option 4) is the Bathinda fort of Raja Dab and later of Razia Sultan's imprisonment, in the dry Malwa belt with no river at all. Answer: option 2.
Has the Punjab Police ASI exam asked Rivers, Canals & Dams of Punjab questions before?
There is no previous Punjab Police ASI paper. These 13 questions are from the Punjab Police Sub-Inspector and Constable papers (2021–2025) — the same force and largely the same syllabus — which makes them the closest real practice for ASI 2026.
How many Rivers, Canals & Dams of Punjab questions come in Punjab Police papers?
13 across 12 papers between 2021–2025: 2 from SI and 11 from Constable.
Are the answers free?
Yes. Every question and its answer is free to read, in English and Punjabi, and the first 10 are free to attempt. Worked explanations, unlimited attempts, full mocks and the Punjab Police notes come with the ASI pack.
