Answer Detail
PUNJAB BOUNDARY COMMISSION was one of the two high-powered panels set up under Governor-General Lord Mountbatten`s partition plan of 3 June 1947 (the other one being the Bengal Boundary Commission) to divide Punjab between India and Pakistan, the two new states that were being carved out. The almost universal support of Muslim masses to the Muslim League at the elections held during the winter of 1945-46 had reinforced the League`s demand for an independent Pakistan, comprising the six provinces of Bengal and Assam in the east and Punjab, the North-West Frontier Province, Sindh and Baluchistan in the northwest.
