Which of the following is NOT a tributary of Jhelum River?

Last updated May 15, 2026
Correct Answer: Option C — Verinag
Analysis of the Options 
A) Vishaw: This is a major left-bank tributary of the Jhelum. It originates from the Kousarnag Lake and joins the Jhelum near Sangam in Anantnag.
B) Sind Nallah: This is the largest tributary of the Jhelum. It originates from the Machoi Glacier near Amarnath and joins the Jhelum at Shadipora in Ganderbal.
D) Romushi: This is another significant left-bank tributary that originates from the Pir Panjal range and joins the Jhelum in the Pulwama district. Why Verinag is different Verinag is a powerful spring located at the foot of the Pir Panjal range in the Anantnag district. It is traditionally considered the main source from which the Jhelum river emerges. A tributary, by definition, is a smaller stream or river that flows into a larger "parent" river. Verinag is the beginning of the parent river itself.
