Chaj Doab (Punjabi: چَج دوآب) is one of the main regions of the Punjab province in Pakistan.[1] Punjab historically has been divided into regions based on its various rivers, since the name Punjab is based on its five main rivers. The Chaj doab includes the area between the Jhelum and Chenab rivers.[2] It lies on the southern fringes of the Kashmir valley.
