Board approval: 19th September 2011 \ Rs. 1.2 million
Khairpur State remained a welfare state with a rich cultural and historic past (1783-1955). Kot Diji was once its capital. Among the many beautiful buildings in the town is an elegant mansion called Sirae Mujahid Hussain Jumani. It is a 120 year old structure whose architectural features include decorative cut moulded, purpose moulded brickwork, terracotta and stucco work. Its design and decorative elements clearly qualify it to be a heritage building.
Condition
On 1st September 2011 a heavy downpour damaged the mansion and caused it to partially collapse. Trustee Dr. Nafisa Shah visited Kot Diji and drew the attention of the EFT for reconstruction of the collapsed parts of the building and protection against rainwater on an urgent basis. The EFT acceded to the request and allocated the required funds and technical advice. The reconstruction work is being executed under the supervision of the Project Director and the owner of the mansion. Conservation
