Which one of the following barrages supplier water to the Indira Gandhi Canal?

The Indira Gandhi Canal, originally known as the Rajasthan Canal, is one of India's largest irrigation projects [2]. It originates from the Harike Barrage (referred to as 'Harika' in the options), which is located at the confluence of the Sutlej and Beas rivers in the Ferozepur district of Punjab [4]. Conceived by Kanwar Sain in 1948, the canal system was launched in 1958 to transform the arid Thar Desert into productive agricultural land [2]. The barrage serves as the headworks for the Rajasthan Feeder canal, which carries water through Punjab and Haryana before entering Rajasthan [4]. While other options like Bhakra and Pandoh are significant dams on the Sutlej and Beas rivers respectively, they do not serve as the primary starting point for the Indira Gandhi Canal [1].
