The Manawar Tawi river (also called Rajouri Tawi and Naushera Tawi) is a tributary of the Chenab River, which originates at the Ratan Pir ridge of the Pir Panjal Range and flows through the Rajouri and Jammu districts of Jammu and Kashmir, India and the Sialkot District of Pakistani Punjab, where it joins the Chenab at Marala Headworks. The towns along its course include Thana Mandi, Rajouri and Naushera.[1] Towards the end of its course, it flows through the plains of the Jammu district west of Akhnoor close to the Line of Control dividing the Pakistani-administered Kashmir and Indian-administered Kashmir regions.
