FORT ABBAS:A historic fort in Cholistan, Mir Garh Qila, is a picture of ruin after years of neglect by the authorities concerned.
Pakistan is brimming with ancient sites rich with the culture and history of years long gone by. Many of these are scattered throughout Cholistan desert. One of these is Mir Garh Qila located at a distance of approximately nine kilometres from Fort Abbas tehsil, smack dab in the centre of Cholistan.
The fort was constructed by Noor Muhammad Khan and is one of the forts built during the reign of the Abbasi clan in Bahawalpur. The walls of the structure are around 28 feet high and have impressive rounded corners on all sides.The fort has one entrance, which is divided into two portions, and four minarets. Once upon a time, there were small houses built inside the courtyard and two sweet water wells. However, with the ravages of time, the houses have reduced to rubble and the wells have dried up. Even the door has disintegrated.The dilapidated state of the once magnificent fort has raised questions over the efficiency of the archaeological department. Tourists travelling from far and wide to see the fort are left disappointment and saddened by its sorry state.Many have demanded that the government renovate the fort so that this irreplaceable piece of heritage can be preserved for future generations.
