Bundal Island

About

Bundal Island (Urdu, Sindhi), also known as Bundle Island or Bhandar Island, is an uninhabited island situated southeast of Karachi's peninsular area known as Defence, along the Arabian Sea coastline. Spanning approximately 24 km2, it is part of the Indus River Delta. The island is home to the shrine of Sufi saint Yousuf Shah, whose annual urs at his tomb attracts thousands of coastal people to the island. Khiprianwala and Buddo are neighbouring islands. There is a dispute between the provincial government of Sindh and Port Qasim Authority on the ownership rights of 12,000 acres (49 km2) of land in these Islands.
