Rohtas Fort: finally going to be revamped

The government of Pakistan is implementing a project to help protect the historical Rohtas Fort and develop it as a heritage site conforming to international standards of conservation and tourism.

Sher Shah Suri built this strong fortified complex at Rohtas, a strategic site about 16 kilometres north-west of the city of Jhelum.

Moreover, the world’s only museum dedicated to Sher Shah Suri has also been established at one of the gates to the fort. A curator’s office and a library will be set up once the conservation of the external structure of the museum is completed. – Photos by Hassan Soherwardy, text by APP.
