From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oghi is a tehsil of Mansehra District, in the Hazara Division of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, Pakistan. Its territory largely coincides with the Agror Valley, and its headquarters is the town of Oghi. Oghi tehsil was established in 1986. Prior to that, this area was part of Mansehra Tehsil.[1]
