Bukkur

Bukkur, a fortified island of the Indus, in Sind, between the towns of Rohri and Sukkur. Composed of limestone, it is 800 yards long and 300 broad, and rises 35 feet above the stream. The great Lansdowne cantilver railway bridge (1886-89) across the Indus here, which is 1200 feet long, takes advantage of the island.
