On June 3 1947 Lord Mountbatten announced that district of Gurdaspur was to be assigned to Pakistan but Redcliffe Head of the Boundary Commission conspired with Indian politicians such as Nehru and modified the geographic boundaries of the two newly formed countries in order to include the district of Gurdaspur in Indias map.
