Akhnoor

Akhnoor is a town and municipal committee near the city of Jammu, in Jammu district of the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. It lies 28 km from Jammu city on the bank of the Chenab River, just before the river enters the Pakistani Punjab, and its border location gives it strategic significance. The Akhnoor area is divided into three administrative sub-divisions, Akhnoor, Chowki Choura and Khour, and seven tehsils: Akhnoor Khaas, Chowki Choura, Maira Mandrian, Jourian, Kharah Balli, Khour and Pargwal. The Wikipedia article on which this entry rests is brief, so no population, founding date or elevation is recorded here beyond what a second source can state.
