Jamshoro

Jamshoro is a city in the Sindh province of Pakistan. It serves as the capital of the Jamshoro District and lies on the National Highway N5, connected to Hyderabad and Karachi. The city is situated 44 kilometers away from the provincial capital, Karachi.

Historically, Jamshoro is mentioned in the Jaffer Tayyar, a 16th-century chronicle. However, its modern relevance largely dates back to 1847 when the Indian Imperial Gazetteer began documenting the area. Before its establishment as a city, the region was primarily known for the construction of the Kotri barrage and the Sukkur barrage, both of which were crucial for the control of floods and irrigation in the region.

The city plays a significant role in the education sector, hosting the Universi ties of Sindh and Nara Chann Memorial Girls College. Jamshoro has also been the site of a number of notable archaeological discoveries, including the Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa excavation sites. In #20, the area was declared a protected and reserve zone for its historical and archeological importance.

The north bank of the Indus River gives the city a scenic view, while the health facility in the area includes the Civil Hospital Jamshoro. The region's infrastructure involves the Kotri Barrage Canal, which receives water supply from both the Sukkur and Kotri barrages. Jamshoro is praised as one of the most populous and densely populated cities of the Sindh province.
