Jiwani Tehsil

Jiwani (Urdu, ) is a town and commercial port located on the Gulf of Oman in the Gwadar District of the Balochistan province of Pakistan. The town has a population of 25,332 and is expected to become a major commercial centre in concert with the development of the port city of Gwadar, located nearly to the east.

==Overview== Jiwani is located between the Pakistani port city of Gwadar and the Iranian port city of Chabahar at the eastern end of Gwatar Bay. The area around the bay includes an important mangrove forest, and is an important habitat for a wide variety of wildlife, especially the endangered olive ridley and green turtles. Plans to grant fishing concessions and offshore drilling rights are potentially a threat to the wildlife of the area. The population largely depends upon fishing. A number of export-oriented fish freezing plants are located in Jiwani. Jiwani is from the Iranian border.
