Tank District (Pashto: ټانک ولسوالۍ, Urdu: ضلع ٹانک ṭāṅk; Saraiki: ٹاک ṭāk) is a district in the Dera Ismail Khan Division of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan.

People of the mountainous regions of the west usually come to Tank to avoid cold weather and then return during the summer.

The tribe known as Arain in the Tank district is the generation of those Arab soldiers who came towards Multan with Muhammad Bin Qasim.

Somewhere in the midst of this turmoil, the British were assembling against the Pashtuns and the First British-Afghan War commenced.

[citation needed] In January 1899, Lord Curzon was appointed as the Viceroy of India.

[citation needed] The only major armed outbreak on this frontier during the period of his administration was the Mahsud Waziri campaign of 1901.

[9] People make their livelihood by farming, falcon catching, migration for employment to the Persian Gulf, or through businesses in Tank.

The Shrine of Pir Sabir Shah Baba is one of the most visited places in the city.

[citation needed] A number of devotees from the city and adjacent districts including Bannu, Lakki and Dera Ismail Khan visit this shrine.

[citation needed] The mud walls are several feet high approximately equal to a modern-day three-story building.

The four main burgs were used as an entrance for armed men who could move around and reach guard posts from within the Qilla without being seen from outside.

The diameter or thickness of the wall from the top was initially equal to so that a Tanga (Horse Cart) could easily move over it.

Nawab Bagh as said before even in the sixties was deserted, has now completely disappeared as the land was sold by Qutbuddin s’ sons and a housing colony named Qutub colony has been constructed over its place right up to city police station and Pir Sabir Shah mausoleum.
