ELEPHANT SANCTUARY: Reports suggest open free range space is being searched for three elephants currently based in Karachi. An ideal location is Rani Kot that exists close to Sehwan in the Kirthar Range. This is a remarkable fort, and one of the wonders in Sindh. Though it is called a fort, it sprawls over mountains and valleys, and its walls cover a huge area with a perimeter of 32km. It has two gates that are manned, and it has a stream running through it. Within these external walls, there is another proper fort inside, along with tourist facilities. The place could become an ideal location for wildlife sanctuary in Sindh. The fort could become a popular tourist destination for those interested in wildlife and history.

Pakistan has brilliant writers, and they should come up with new ideas.
