Sonar is the only living fort situated in the middle of Thar
Jaisalmer, situated in the middle of the Thar Desert, whose identity is Sonar Durg, is the only living fort in the world. The Archaeological Department has spent billions of rupees for the conservation of this fort, which is included in the UNESCO World Heritage. On the other hand, open disorganized urinals have been built on its boundary walls, which along with weakening the wall of Sonar Fort, are tarnishing the image of Jaisalmer. Due to the dual policy of government departments towards Sonar Durg, it was being exploited. The condition of the walls of Sonar Fort is such that the wall of the fort is being used as the wall of the bathroom. Many rules and regulations have been made by the Indian Archeology and Survey Department for its conservation, but these rules have not been implemented.
