1. Tando Ghulam Hyder (Taluka Headquarters): Taluka Tando Ghulam Hyder was created in 2005 by Arbab Ghulam Rahim Chief Minister Sind. It is being systematized slowly gradually since that. However the town itself is neat and clean where all communities live with peace and brotherhood. As far as the development is concerned then whole this is happening because of efforts of Abdullah Khan Bhatti a well known Social Reformer; under the platform of his own NGO named Social Welfare Association Tando Ghulam Hyder. It is an unregistered NGO but literally he is struggling too much for the welfare of this area particularly. Abdullah Khan Bhatti is a well-educated and known as a social person, that’s why he leads to all issues of this area indiscriminately.
