More than 18,000 Urdu-speaking Pakistanis were trained on the job, some learning to operate the most modern sort of earth-moving equipment. A special diet had to be provided for them after the contractors found they lacked the stamina for an eight-hour day. A month before the Jhelum River was to be diverted, war broke out between India and Pakistan.
