History and geography
The decision to divide Thatta District into two districts by the provincial government was made on 12 October 2013 through a notification issued by Revenue Department of Sindh. The provincial revenue department said:
A new district encompassing Sujawal, Kharochhan (barring 10 dehs), Mirpur Bathoro, Jati and Shah Bundar tehsils (talukas) would be Sindh’s 28th district to be called Sujawal. Its headquarters will be located in Sujawal tehsil (taluka). The new district has been established under Section 6 of the Sindh Land Revenue Act, 1967.[5]
According to the notification the right side of Indus River will comprise old Thatta district and the left side will come under the jurisdiction of newly created Sujawal. The Thatta District (area wise among the largest districts of the province), will have half the size in its new boundaries, comprising Thatta, Mirpur Sakro, Keti Bunder and Ghorabari tehsils (talukas). And some areas of Kharochhan tehsil (taluka) have also been included in new Thatta District. The historical city of Thatta, which was once the capital of Sindh, was carved out from Karachi as a separate city in August 1948. It was the second largest district in Sindh, in terms of area, covering over 17,335 square kilometers before recently separation into two parts. Provincial Revenue Department of Sindh Notification 12 October 2013. There are two Provincial Assembly seats Constituency PS-86 and Constituency PS-87 and one National Assembly seat Constituency NA-238 in newly formed districts Sujawal.[6][7]
