Zhob (English: /ʒoʊb/; Pashto: ژوب, romanized: Zhōb, lit. 'oozing water'), formerly known as Mandokhail, is a city and district headquarters of the Zhob District in the Balochistan province of Pakistan.[2] Zhob is located on the banks of the Zhob river. It lies 337 kilometres away from Quetta, the capital of Balochistan.
The city was originally named Mandokhail after a nearby village. During the British colonial era, it was named Fort Sandeman after the British Indian Army officer Robert Groves Sandeman. It obtained its current name in 1976 when the then Prime Minister of Pakistan Zulfikar Ali Bhutto changed its name.[3]
