The Sindh government has announced free public entry to all provincial museums and heritage sites from August 1 to 14 as part of Independence Day celebrations.
According to a notification from the Culture, Tourism, Antiquities and Archives Department, this year’s theme will be “Marka-i-Haq”, commemorating Pakistan’s military response to Indian aggression earlier this year during Operation Bunyanum Marsoos.
The decision will allow citizens to visit prominent landmarks including Quaid-i-Azam House Museum in Karachi, Sindh Provincial Museum in Hyderabad, Banbhore Museum near Thatta, Kotdiji Museum in Khairpur, and Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Museum in Larkana.
Other sites open for free access include Mohenjo Daro, Umarkot Fort, Naukot Fort in Tharparkar, Mukhi House in Hyderabad, Laar Museum in Badin, Bhit Shah Cultural Centre, Shah Jahan Mosque in Thatta, and Sateen jo Aastan.
The initiative aims to encourage public participation in cultural and historical preservation while marking the country’s 78th Independence Day.
