Tower (now used as Tank)
SindhFortProtected
A high tower was built inside Pucca Fort in the past, which may have been used as gun-post or it might have served as a watch tower during the Talpur Period. When the fort was demilitarized, the tower was also modified and converted to a water reservoir, which is still utilized for the same purpose.
