Banbhore Division (Sindhi: ڀنڀور ڊويزن), also known as "Thatta Division" or "Bhambore Division", is the sixth administrative division of Sindh as announced by the Sindh Government.[1][2] The name of division is derived from the ancient city of Banbhore.Bhambore Ruins is situated on the right bank of the Indus River and is around 65 kilometers from Karachi. The planned capital of this division is the city of Thatta. In addition to Thatta District itself, plans exist to incorporate the districts of Sujawal and Badin into Banbhore Division; prior to this change, all three of these districts were included in the Hyderabad Division.[3] People of Sindh appreciated this change as they believe it will improve the governance and infrastructure development of region. The Sindh Government also allocated a budget of 11 billion rupees for the development of Banbhore Division.[4]

History[edit]
 |
The people of Sindh wanted a new division from the existing Hyderabad it was part of.[5] In 2012, when Badin was badly flooded by a seasonal monsoon, Hyderabad management failed to rescue Badin and provide disaster management in the aftermath. Therefore, in the 2013 regional election, people demanded a separate division as a condition of voting for the People's Party.[6] In the People's Party's election campaign, the party accepted the demand and it was successful in gaining majority seats in these areas. It was also important to make another administrative division for better governing and development in the region.
Location of Bhambore[edit]
Bhambore Ruins is situated on the right bank of the Indus River and is around 65 kilometers from Karachi. The Ruins of Bhambore are located in Sindh Province, Pakistan. The city was first inhabited over 4,000 years ago and is known for its trading connections between Arab and South Asian nations. The ruins were abandoned due to a change in the Indus River’s route and were later destroyed by an earthquake in 893 AD. Today, the archaeological site is open to visitors and is recognized as an important historical landmark. Headings are set apart on the streets, making them simpler to find. For the most part, the region is protected yet should be left before nightfall for well-being reasons.
History Of Bhambore[edit]
The ruins of Bhambore are located in the district of Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. The city was founded by the Sumerians in the late 4th millennium BC and was later ruled by the Achaemenid Empire, Alexander’s successors, and the Parthian Empire. After Shah Abdul Karim, many references to this city can be traced in the literature of Sindh. Mir Muhammad Masum Bukhari (d. 1606CE)), the great historian and poet of Sindh, also narrated this story under Masnawi Husn-o-na’az in Persian around 1594CE. Besides, Mian Shah Inayat (d. I719CE).
Bhambore Museum[edit]
This ancient city is believed to date back to the 1st century BC and is famous for its well-preserved ruins. The most exciting part of this site is the museum built in 1960 to showcase artifacts from different periods of its history. While it is not as popular as other heritage destinations in Pakistan, history enthusiasts still visit this site for a day of learning and exploration. Presently, the government has developed an archeological museum in Bhambore, which was introduced in 2011-2012. It exhibits many pottery, earthenware, shell, and past ornaments. The valuable stones, jewels, and gems have been excavated from the remains. This large number of articles is appropriately ordered on the premise of their time. Other than the exhibition hall, a little way prompts the remnants, all properly stamped and generally made sense of. From that point, one can likewise get a brilliant perspective on Gharo Creek that passes other than the area.
