Ropar Head Works Park is the prime attraction for the people living around and away. The head works was first built by English invaders when they occupied the land and used it to divert and distribute the water to develop agriculture in the area for their benefits. They made it in a way as a tourist attraction. The 850m bridge on Sutlej river was also built. The bridge servers to support water gates to barricade the water flowing in the river to facilitate diverting. Small gauge rail track was also put on the bridge (which is not operational now) to transport goods and construction material through railway alongside the road transportation.
This is very important place in the history as it marks the boundaries of expanding East India Company, beyond this point was the Khalsa Raj under the command of Great Maharaja Ranjit Singh. There is also a rendezvous point where an accord was signed between East India Company and Khalsa Raj.
This park has seen many changes with newer administration in the Ropar district. Money spent on the park many times but it is not followed up with proper maintenance without which it doesn’t take long to turn to ruins again.
For the very first time I witnessed giving it to that beautiful aesthetic look that made it hard to believe if its the same place. Sharing some pictures taken in the night time and hope it would be kept maintained that way.
