Sukkur, a city with a rich history and captivating landscapes, is nestled in the heart of Sindh province in Pakistan. Although it shares its name with other places around the world, Sukkur holds its own unique charm. Situated on the banks of the mighty Indus River, this ancient city has witnessed countless tales unfold throughout centuries. Its strategic location near Afghanistan and the famous Khyber Pass has made it an important crossroads for trade and cultural exchange. Engravings from bygone eras depict breathtaking views of North Western India, showcasing Sukkur's significance as a gateway to this vibrant region. Sketches of Balochistan further highlight the diversity that surrounds Sukkur, offering glimpses into its neighboring lands. One engraving showcases The New Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Army, reminding us of Sukkur's historical military importance. Another depicts The Tragedy on the River - a poignant reminder of both nature's power and human resilience along these waters. The Lansdowne Bridge over the Indus at Sukkur stands tall as an engineering marvel connecting Quetta and Candahar. Opening ceremonies captured in engravings commemorate Lord Reay inaugurating this vital link between regions. Venturing beyond Sukkur's borders takes us to Bundelkhund in Central India through enchanting engravings. These images showcase our Indian defenses and bridges under construction – testaments to our shared heritage across borders. In present-day Pakistan, road workers tirelessly contribute to infrastructure development while preserving their nation's past glory. Minaret of Masum Shah rises gracefully against Sukkur's skyline – a symbol of spiritual devotion amidst bustling modernity. Lastly, we cannot overlook The Bridge over the Indus - an iconic landmark that unites people from all walks of life who traverse its path daily. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity while bridging gaps between cultures and communities.
