Correct Answer :
Pathankot
The term "Doaba" literally translates to "land of two rivers" ("Do" meaning two and "ab" meaning river). The Doaba region of Punjab is the area situated between the Beas River and the Sutlej River.
The districts that fall under the Doaba area are:
Hoshiarpur
Nawanshahr (officially known as Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar)
Jalandhar
Kapurthala
Pathankot is located in the Majha region of Punjab, which lies between the Beas and Ravi rivers.
