The Ganga Canal of Rajasthan[1] (also called Gang Canal) is an irrigation system of canals laid down by Maharaja Ganga Singh in the present district of Sri Ganganagar in the early twentieth century. It is fed from the Sutlej River near Firozpur, Punjab, close to the India–Pakistan border, and passes through the Faridkot, Fazilka and Muktsar districts. Faridkot's Jhok Sarkari village lies on its path.
