Khurd (Urdu: خُورد), is a village in the Jhelum District of Punjab, Pakistan. It is a part of the Chotala union council within Jhelum Tehsil,[2] located 18.19 kilometers southwest of Jhelum city and 56 kilometers northeast of Pind Dadan Khan.[3]

Etymology

[edit]

Khurd is a term derived from the Persian language meaning small. In both India and Pakistan, Khurd serves as an administrative designation indicating the smaller segment of a town, village, or settlement, usually added after place names. Nevertheless, in this particular case, Khurd functions independently as the village's name.[4]

Geography

[edit]

Khurd is situated in the central region of Jhelum Tehsil, nestled in the plains between the Jhelum River and the Salt Range.[5]
