Jhaki Bander fort

 fortification, historic ruins

This fort is also called Jhaki Bander. I have been there many times and it appears that it was meant to be a garrison fort built by Muslims to look after pirates and marauding armies coming from Arabian Sea. Some Islamic coins have also been found here.

The Indus Delta is a natural wonder. But sadly, as with many of nature’s endowments, the environment of the delta has been wrecked by human apathy and greed. Industries dispose of their toxic waste into the seas, resulting in a lack of freshwater flow to the mangroves, so these sea forests have now shrunk alarmingly in size and no longer provide effective protection against flooding. Additionally, intense illegal logging and fishing have also devastated both the mangroves and the fish that shelter here. Still, the Indus delta remains the fifth largest delta system in the world, and boasts of the seventh largest mangrove forest system.
