A natural dam known as the Allahbund was created and Sindhu changed its course of flow.
The Sindhu river now drains into the sea. Lakhpat and the area around is very sparsely populated of not more than 400 persons.
The Gosh Mohmad Kuba, Syed Pir Shah Dargah, Nani Mai Dargah, Hatkeshwar Temple amongst others in the old town are reminisces of the glorious past.
