Talk:Jhang

A question

Hi. I am not a Pakistani (or an Urdu speaker) but I understand the word Jhang means 'war' or 'struggle'. So I was interested in why this city has this rather unusual name. Anyone know? Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.138.98.253 (talk) 13:19, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Brother I m Umair from Punjab Public Service Commission , Lahore(naz_raj007@yahoo.com). please tell us about where the name of Jhang is derived. I think from Jhund. With thanks.

can you add the name of Dr. Abdus-salam the only Nobel Laureate from Pakistan, who belonged to Jhang. He is buried in Rabwah town.

In the clans please add Lak clan as well.

Please refer to Trimmu headworks as confluence of Jhelum and Chenab rivers as one of the landmarks of Jhang

Propose merger/refactoring of 2 Jhang district articles

There seems to be 2 articles, Jhang District and Jhang, both about the same district. There's also a tehsil named Jhang, but neither article seems to write much about that. Could someone who knows the area sort this out? --Alvestrand 01:53, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Moved info from Jhang to Jhang District. I did it this way rather than the other way around even though Jhang was bigger and better developed because all the other articles in Administrative divisions of Punjab (Pakistan) seem to have the district as the article instead of the single name. I placed a redirect in Jhang.-----Adimovk5 (talk) 05:02, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

I have removed the redirect from Jhang to Jhang District, note Jhang is a city and the capital of Jhang District (and Jangh tehsil). I have removed all the details relating to the district, I believed his needs to be an article in its own right, in the same way that York and North Yorkshire, New York City and New York, or Abbottabad and Abbottabad District are all separate articles and not all lumped together as one.

Check correctness of co-ordinates

If you click on the coordinates for Jhang to get GeoHack, 30° 21′ 0″ N, 71° 23′ 24″ E 30.35, 71.39, and then view the location in Google Maps and zoom out, the closest city is Multano, not Jhang. The page Jhang Sadar gives different coordinates and perhaps needs to be integrated with this page. 12.72.23.215 (talk) 08:18, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

Anjuman-e-Spahe-e-Sohaba

The text says, "Maulana Haq Nawaz Jhangvi was another prominent and controversial leader from Jhang who created Anjuman-e-Spahe-e-Sohaba (A.S.S), which the United Nations has now banned." This assertion needs a citation from a reliable source. In contrast, the article on this organization says, "The organization was banned by President Pervez Musharraf in 2002 as a terrorist organization under the Anti-Terrorism Act of 1997.". Can these both be true?Fconaway (talk) 10:40, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
