Kathua district covers 2,651 sq km in the southernmost part of Jammu and Kashmir, bordering Punjab’s Pathankot and Gurdaspur districts to the south and Himachal Pradesh’s Chamba district to the southeast. This border location gives Kathua a distinct dual character — it is simultaneously one of the most industrialised districts due to the Kathua industrial belt along the national highway, and one of the most security-sensitive due to the active international border with Pakistan running through its Hiranagar sector.
