You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.204.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:17, 2 January 2025. Your current IP address is 34.204.68.48.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Khushab District''' ([[Punjabi language|Punjabi]]: {{Nastaliq|ضِلع خُوشاب}}), is a [[Districts of Pakistan|district]] in the province of [[Punjab (Pakistan)|Punjab]], [[Pakistan]], with its administrative capital in [[Jauharabad]]. The district is named after the historical city of [[Khushab]].

District Khushab shares boundaries with the districts of [[Sargodha District|Sargodha]], [[Jhelum District|Jhelum]], [[Chakwal District|Chakwal]], [[Mianwali District|Mianwali]], [[Bhakkar District|Bhakkar]] and [[Jhang District|Jhang]].

==History==
The word Khushab is derived from two [[Persian language|Persian]] words "Khush" ({{literally|sweet}}) and "Aab" ({{literally|water}}), referring to the river [[Jhelum river|Jhelum]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://khushab.punjab.gov.pk/our_history|title=District Khushab: Our History|website=Government of the Punjab}}</ref> The city was evidently well-established by the early 16th century; the Mughal ruler [[Babur]] mentions Khushab along with [[Bhera]] and [[Chiniot]] as the frontier cities between [[Hindustan]] and [[Kabulistan|Kabul]] in his ''[[Baburnama]]''.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Babur |first=Zahiru'd-din Muhammad|url= |title= [[Baburnama]] |translator-last=Beveridge |translator-first=Annette Susannah |translator-link=Annette Beveridge|date=1922 |publisher=London: Luzac & Co. |pages=380–384|volume=I}}</ref> In the ''[[Ain-i-Akbari]]'', written during the reign of [[Akbar]] in {{circa|1590}}, Khushab was enumerated as one of the ''[[parganas]]'' in the [[Sindh Sagar Doab|Sind Sagar]] [[Circar|sarkar]] of the Mughal [[Subah of Lahore|province of Panjab]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=‘Allami |first=Abul Fazl-i-|author-link=Abul Fazl|url= |title= '[[Ain-i-Akbari]] |translator-last1= Jarrett |translator-first1=H.S. |translator-last2= Sarkar |translator-first2=Jadunath|edition=2nd|translator-link2=Jadunath Sarkar|date=1949 |publisher=Calcutta: [[Royal Asiatic Society of Bengal]] |pages=326|volume=II}}</ref>
 
After the decline of Mughal Empire in the 18th century, Khushab came under the control of [[Tiwana family of Shahpur|Tiwana clan]]. Tiwanas built the fortified towns of [[Mitha Tiwana railway station|Mitha Tiwana]] and [[Noorpur Thal|Nurpur Tiwana]], and expanded their landholdings at the expense of [[Awan (tribe)|Awans]] of [[Salt Range]] and the [[Nawabs of Mankera|Thal Nawabs]]. Khushab was annexed by [[Ranjit Singh]] in 1817, but the area was later restored to [[Malik Fateh Khan Tiwana|Fateh Khan Tiwana]] as [[jagir]] in return for military services.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Talbot|first=Ian  |chapter-url=https://archive.org/details/khizr-tiwana/page/23/mode/1up |title=Khizr Tiwana: The Punjab Unionist Party and the Partition of India |date=2002|publisher=Oxford University Press|location=Karachi|isbn=0-19-579551-2|chapter=The Tiwanas of Shahpur|pages=23–31|chapter-url-access=registration}}</ref> After the [[second Anglo-Sikh war|annexation of Punjab]] by the British in 1849, Khushab became part of the [[Shahpur District]]. In 1960, Khushab and [[Sargodha District]]s were created after the bifurcation of Shahpur District.

==Geography==
Khushab is situated between the cities of [[Sargodha]] and [[Mianwali]], near the river [[Jhelum River|Jhelum]]. The district capital is [[Jauharabad]] (founded 1953, pop. 39,477).

Khushab consists of agricultural lowland plains, lakes, and hills. Parts of the [[Thal Desert|Thal desert]] touch the district, which has a breadth of over {{convert|70|mi|km}} and is situated between the [[Indus]] and [[Jhelum]] rivers.

There are three lakes (Ochali, Khabbaki, and Jahlar) in the district. Kanhatti Garden is the largest forest in Khushab district, near Khabbaki village in the [[Soon Valley]].  Khabikki Lake is a salt-water lake in the southern Salt Range. The lake is one kilometre wide and two kilometres long. Khabikki is also the name of a neighbouring village. [[Sakesar]] is the highest mountain in the Salt Range,<ref name="Sakesar">{{cite news|access-date=28 January 2023|title=Sakesar a tourist spot|url=https://tribune.com.pk/story/624498/tourist-spots-soon-sakesar-valley/|date=30 October 2013|newspaper=The Express Tribune | location=Pakistan | first=Anwer Hussain | last=Sumra}}</ref> and is the site of the ancient [[Amb Temples]]. Sakesar’s summit is 1,522 m (4,946 ft) high and is situated in Khushab District.
