Karachi: The Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) has announced plans to develop a museum and upgrade facilities at the historic 16th-century Chaukhandi Tombs to boost tourism and heritage preservation. Mayor Murtaza Wahab has directed officials to prepare a detailed feasibility study, construct protective boundary walls, and improve surrounding public spaces. The initiative focuses on safeguarding the intricately carved sandstone tombs while enhancing infrastructure, visitor accessibility, and on-site amenities.
