Sibi (Urdu and Balochi: سبی ; Sindhi: سيوي) is a district in the Balochistan province of Pakistan.[2] The climate and topography of Sibi District is quite varied compared to the other districts of Balochistan. It is also known as the "hotspot" of Pakistan where the temperatures in the summer exceeded 52.6 °C (126.7 °F). Until 2002 the district had two sub-divisions, Sibi and Harnai, further organized into Tehsils and sub-tehsils: Sibi, Kutmandi and Sangan. Lehri was joined with Sibi district in 2002 and Harnai was made a separate district. Sibi tehsil is predominately inhabited by Pashtun tribes of Panni, Khajjaks and Tareens (Silachi Nodhani and other Hasnis). Town of sibi is chiefly built upon lands of Marghazani and Dehpal.
