Sukkur District

Sukkur District extends along the western bank of the Indus River, encompassing both urban centers and agricultural regions across its territory.

The district headquarters moved from Shikarpur to Sukkur in 1883 during British colonial administration, marking a shift in regional governance patterns.

The district population includes Sindhis, Punjabis, Brahuis, Balochis, and Pakhtuns, with Sindhi speakers representing 86 percent of inhabitants.

The district contains multiple industrial facilities producing biscuits, cigarettes, oil, lime, cement, along with cotton and flour processing operations.

The region maintains seven major canals fed by the Sukkur Barrage, supporting extensive cultivation of wheat, cotton, rice, and fruit crops.
