Manawar Tawi River

The Manawar Tawi river (also called Rajouri Tawi and Naushera Tawi) is a tributary of the Chenab River, which originates at the Ratan Pir ridge of the Pir Panjal Range and flows through the Rajouri and Jammu districts of Jammu and Kashmir and the Narowal district of Pakistani Punjab, where it joins the Chenab. The towns along its course include Thana Mandi, Rajouri and Naushera.[1] Towards the end of its course, it flows through the plains of the Jammu district west of Akhnur close to the Line of Control dividing the Pakistan-administered and Indian-administered Kashmir regions.
