 Rahim Yar Khan city is in the Bahawalpur Division of Punjab province in Pakistan. .
District Rahim Yar Khan is one of the largest districts of southern Punjab. The river Indus
separates Rahim Yar Khan from Muzafargarh, Rajanpur, Kashmore & Ghotki districts.
The districts borders with Muzafargarh district on the north, with Jasilmir(India) and
Ghotki district of Sind province on the south, with Bahawalpur district on the east, and
with Rajanpur district on the west. The district Rahim Yar Khan is divided into three
natural borders, i.e. the Riverine area, the desert and the green land. The riverside area of
the land is canal irrigated area lying on the south and is separated by main Minchin Bund.
The approximate height of the irrigated area is 150 to 200 meters above the sea level. The
third part of the area called Cholistan lies in the south of the irrigated tract up to the Indo-
Pak border.
Apart from the natural lines of contrast, the city lies in the heart of Pakistan. The main
transportation lines, both railway and motor way passes through this area and thus makes
it an economically important region that connects the two capitals of major provinces of
Pakistan that is Lahore, Punjab and Karachi, Sind. This geographic location of the city
and economic importance of the region has played a major role in the development of the
lost soul of Indus civilization again in the form of Rahim Yar Khan. District Rahim Yar
Khan based mainly on the agriculture land garlanded by industrial states, is the biggest
contributor in the GDP of Punjab and this warm industry is not the gift of the Pakistan but
was living there before independence (according to the statement of Architect Fayyaz
Udin in 1943 recorded by Sayyed Noor Ali Zamin Hussaini in his article about city's
planning).
Rahim Yar Khan is 10th largest populated city of Punjab according to 2017 census. Its population is
