Jhelum (Veth)
<p>The swift-flowing current of the Jhelum river flows through the Kashmir valley with all the side streams draining into it. It forms one of the five main tributaries of the Indus river. A river usually has an upper, middle and lower course. However, the Jhelum river doesn’t follow that order. It flows slowly in its upper course and once it leaves the valley, it becomes turbulent. Srinagar city is situated on both sides of this river.</p> <p>In addition, the town of Anantnag, Baramulla and Sopore are also located on the banks of the Jhelum, which originates from the snowy heights of Koisar Bal, with the discharge further augmented by the Verinag spring. The Jhelum enters Wular lake near Sopore, which then flows out of the valley. It then meets Kishan Ganga near Muzaffarabad on the other side of the LOC.</p>
