Mehar is a town in Dadu District, Sindh, Pakistan, with a rich history dating back to 1848 when it was created as a subdivision of Dadu District during British rule. The town has a population of around 520,559 people, with Sindhi being the primary language spoken (99.7%).
Mehar is located at 27°10′42″N 67°49′25″E, with an elevation of 43 meters (141 ft) above sea level. The area is irrigated by the Western Nāra canal and its smaller channels, making it suitable for farming.
Mehar has a long history, with records showing that it was once a fertile area, but floods in 1874 led to the water becoming brackish, and many gardens were lost. The town is home to several notable figures, including Liaquat Ali Jatoi, the former Chief Minister of Sindh, and Fayaz Ali Butt, a provincial Minister.
Mehar is administratively subdivided into 15 Union Councils, including Mehar, Balishah, Bothro, Baledai, Betto, Fareedabad, Gahi Mahessar, Kolachi, Khan Jo Goth, Mandwani, Nau Goth, Qazi Aarif, Radhan, Shah Panjo, and Tharari Mohabat.
