Mohenjo Daro Flood – The Need for Climate-Resilient Site Preservation
Floods in Pakistan have ravaged ¼ of the country, inundating villages and crop fields. While it has rid 33 million people of their households and livelihood, it has also damaged the 4500-years old archaeological site – Mohenjo Daro.
Mohenjo Daro was first discovered in the year of 1922 and is considered to be one of the most visited tourist attractions in Sindh. The year 2022 marks the 100th anniversary of the popular archaeological site. This was the time to celebrate the longevity of the preserved sites withstanding 4500 years.
However, the baneful wave of floods after torrential rains in Sindh has blockaded any hopes for any spectacular celebration for this historical place in Pakistan.
