The rehabilitation project consists of three new spillways that would be built at the headworks, in addition to the construction of another road for vehicular traffic.

In the history pages, it is the confluence of the Indus and Panjnad rivers. The Indus river was also known as Stand, meaning (Sat = seven), carrying the waters of seven rivers, including the Indus river. Moreover, it is also believed to have been in earlier times the Saraswati/Ghaggar/Hakra river, which sooner or later dried and became a seasonal river due to seismic shifts in the glacial region of Himachal Pradesh, where it began, and later on the Kabul river and the five rivers of Punjab.

Panjang is an amazing picnic place among locals and attracts thousands of tourists from many other cities in Punjab. Also, basic outdoor seating close to the river is available to have a fresh meal and enjoy a picnic. Moreover, a boating facility is also available here to relish boat rides. In 2012, a tragic incident took place here when at least 17 people drowned when a boat capsized here due to overloading.
