The Sirhand Canal required sandstone obtained from a quarry near Nalagarh, and the mortar was manufactured of bricks from the ruins of Sirhind and lime from kankar quarries at Patarheri, a village a few miles from Rupar. A railway line 54 miles long was constructed from Doraha to the Nalagarh quarries to carry material, but the line was taken up shortly after completion of the canal in 1884-85.
