What is Tehsil?
A '''tehsil''' (also known as a '''mandal''', '''taluka''', '''taluk''') is a unit of government in [[Pakistan]] and in the [[Republic of India]] - it is similar to a [[county]]. It usually consists of a town (possibly more towns) and the villages around the towns. In Pakistan, Tehsils are the second administrative division. They are further subdivided into [[Union Councils of Pakistan|Union Councils]]. Many Tehsils are grouped together into a ''district'' ([[Zillah]]). In [[Sindh]] the name ''taluka'' is generally used instead of tehsil. In India, some states use ''taluk'' or ''taluka'', others use ''tehsil''. The ''TK'' often found in Indian addresses stands for Taluk. [[Category:Local government of Pakistan]] [[Category:Local government in India]] {{multistub|geo|Asia}}
