Bahawalnagar

About Bahawalnagar District

Bahawalnagar is a district of Punjab with a landscape shaped by the Sutlej and its position along the Pakistan–India border. The district administration’s geography page places the Sutlej along its northern side and Bahawalpur to the west. Its eastern and southern edges meet Indian territory.

Places and local geography

The official district guide identifies Bahawalnagar, Minchanabad, Chishtian, Haroonabad and Fort Abbas as its tehsils. These names are useful starting points when narrowing a location search: a district name alone does not identify a particular town, village or delivery office. The guide also lists Fort Abbas, Fort Marot and Bahawalnagar Railway Station among local places of interest.
