The demarcation of world famous cultural heritage site of Mohen-jo-Daro has not yet been carried out resulting in illegal encroachments around its land by the influential land grabbers.

The dry core drilling (DCD) project is in doldrums for which six months time was given to complete its first phase. The Sindh culture and tourism department thinks that it has fulfilled its legal obligations by floating tender advertisements five times in the newspapers, but practically almost nothing has been done as yet in this regard.

The Mohenjo Daro technical committee member, which was formed by the culture department and known German expert architect Prof Michael Johnson, has already given his suggestion that DCD contract may be given to foreign expert companies keeping in view the seriousness of the site and ruins, but the Sindh government is showing no serious attitude to save this historic site.

Sources said that UNESCO had issued several warnings previously to Pakistan and the Sindh governments to carry out demarcation and establish buffer zone; otherwise the name of Mohen-jo-Daro could be excluded from its list of world heritage sites, but despite world body’s SOS no notice has so far been taken which is why influential encroachers have become very active to occupy the precious land of Indus valley. This also shows that rulers are not serious about saving this 5000-year-old civilization of Sindh.

Mohenjo Daro
Mohenjo Daro - Mohenjo Daro was a city which had been effectively planned and boasted exceptional amenities. Its houses were furnished with brick-built bathrooms, many had lavatories. Waste water from these led into well-constructed sewers that ran along the centre of the streets, covered with bricks.It lies on the banks of the River Indus in the province of Sind, in Pakistan. Along with another historical site, Harappa, it represents the very earliest civilisation in the region, rivalling those in Egypt and Mesopotamia.
