Geography and climate

edit

Bhawana is located on the Jhang Chiniot Road on the left bank of the Chenab river.[2] Recently, with a budget of 250 million rupees, a bridge from Bhawana to Kalri has been constructed over the Chenab. The soil is fertile,[clarification needed] and the city depends considerably on agriculture to bolster its economy. It is situated 37 km from Chiniot, 50 km from Faisalabad, 48 km from Jhang and 70 km from Sargodha. Its weather is much like the rest of Punjab's, with long and intense summers, and relatively short but cold winters.[3][4]
