KHAIRPUR: Kot Diji’s citadel walls have collapsed due to the rains and floods, after which the fort has been temporarily closed for local and foreign tourists.

Kot Diji, which lies on the east bank of the Indus, is an ancient site that has records of human habitation dating back to 3300 BCE and is considered a forerunner of the Indus Valley Civilization.

The fort has a citadel on high ground and remnants of houses from those times nearby the citadel. The artefacts and the structures themselves sustained damages due to the rain.

Rains and floods in Sindh are now threatening the region’s most iconic features including the remains of the Indus Valley Civilization.

The lack of attention has led to more damage to the ancient ruins and now record-breaking floods have dealt a heavy blow to the restoration efforts.
