CHENAB (the Greek Acesines)

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 77 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHA-CHR
CHENAB (the Greek Acesines) , one of the " Five rivers " of the Punjab, India. It rises in the snowy Himalayan ranges of Kashmir, enters British territory in the Sialkot
district
 , and flows through the plains of the Punjab, forming the boundary between the Rechna and the Jech Doabs. Finally it joins the Jhelum at Trimmu.
The CHENAB COLONY, resulting from the
great
  success of the Chenab Canal in irrigating the desert of the Bar, was formed out of the three adjacent districts of
Gujranwala
 , Jhang, and Montgomery in 1892, and contained in 1901 a
population
  of 791,861. It lies in the Rechna Doab between the Chenab and Ravi rivers in the north-
east
  of the Jhang
district
 , and is designed to include an irrigated area of 22 million acres. The Chenab Canal (opened 1887) is the largest and most profitable perennial canal in India. The
principal
  town is Lyallpur, called after Sir J. Broadwood
Lyall
 ,
lieutenant
 -
governor
  of the Punjab 1887-1892, which gives its name to a district created in 1904.
