Jhang District facts for kids
Jhang District is an important area, known as a district, located in the Punjab province of Pakistan. Think of a province as a big state, and a district as a smaller part of that state. The main city and capital of Jhang District is called Jhang. It's a place with a rich history and a vibrant culture.
Understanding Jhang District's Administration
Every district needs a way to be organized and managed. Jhang District is divided into smaller areas called tehsils. You can think of a tehsil as a sub-district or a smaller administrative unit within the larger district. These tehsils help the local government manage services and activities more easily for the people living there.

Jhang District has several tehsils that help with its administration. These smaller areas include:
- Jhang Tehsil

It's interesting to note that Chiniot District was once part of Jhang District but became its own separate district in 2009. This shows how administrative areas can change over time to better serve their communities.
