River Jindi
River Jindi, also known as Kot and Manzari Baba, is a river in the northern part of Pakistan. It starts in the hills of the Malakand Agency in Charsadda District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. In the early part of the year it has limited water, but summer rains bring needed water for the area.
As the river flows downstream, local people use dams to take water for irrigation, so the amount that reaches areas further downstream decreases. The region around the Kabul and Jindi rivers is one of the largest irrigated areas in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. With a growing population, water problems could get worse. In recent years, droughts, higher temperatures, and pollution have reduced the river’s supply of fresh water.
The Jindi flows through villages such as Spankharo, Prang Ghar, Palay, Umerzai, Turangzai, and Utmanzai, then through Tangi Tehsil in Charsadda, before joining the Swat River south of Charsadda at Baberra. The river’s coordinates are about 34.19097°N, 71.74807°E.
Today, Jendi is a visiting center for many people. There is a historic bridge at Jendi Bazaar built during British rule, and the river banks host fish centers. The fish found in River Jindi are notable, making Jendi a local spot for fishing. People often visit in the evenings to enjoy the scenery.
