Sialkot Fort

Published November 9, 2015

ACCORDING to a report in a section of the press, the ancient Sialkot Fort is in a poor shape. If properly preserved, it would add to the value of Sialkot city, now a commercial and industrial place.

The preservation of such a historical place, requires finances and efforts. I believe the Sialkot Chamber of Commerce and Industry can play a useful role in this regard.
