THE 1930's

 

    With the opening of the Sukker Barrage in Northern Sindh in 1932, the city saw another boom. After the separation of the province of Sindh from the Bombay presidency in 1936, Karachi was made the capital of the province. Foundation was laid for the construction of the Karachi Municipal Corporation building to house the municipal workings and offices of the new provincial capital.
