Attock Tehsil (Urdu: تحصیل اٹک ) is one of the six tehsils (subdivisions) of Attock District in the Punjab province of Pakistan [ [http://www.statpak.gov.pk/depts/pco/statistics/admin_unit/admin_list_tehsil.html POPULATION CENSUS ORGANIZATION, Government of Pakistan] ] . It lies between 33º38' and 34º0' N. and 72º7' and 72º50' E, with an area of 651 square miles. The Indus bounds it on the north-west, dividing it from the North-West Frontier Province, while the Haro flows through from east to west. The north-west corner is occupied by the fertile Chach plain. South of this lies a dry sandy plain, beyond which rises the Kala-Chitta range. The eastern half consists of the tract known as the Nala, which includes, along with a number of low hills and much broken country, a considerable area of fairly good level land, portions of which are irrigated from wells and by cuts from the Haro and other smaller streams [http://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/gazetteer/pager.html?objectid=DS405.1.I34_V06_144.gifAttock Tahsil - Imperial Gazetteer of India, v. 6, p. 138] ] .
