  • Roads and infrastructure

    Like in other parts of Sindh the conditions of roads in Thari Mirwah is pitiable. However, rehabilitation of Thari-Setharja road is being carried out and some construction has been done. On the eastern side of Thari is a desert which is best known as Thar desert. A single road runs from Dhedano village to Savan gas field and here it turns into the gas company's blacktop highroad.

    The newly constructed Mehran Highway is the only highway which connects Nawabshah District to Khairpur and passes through the jurisdictions of Thari Mirwah, Faiz Ganj, Bandhi, and Daur. Its was pending for seven years and caused heavy environmental pollution due to red tape and incomplete construction. After its completion it has been illegally used by the buses and coaches going to Panjab, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Fata, which has caused many accidents. A passenger bus of Uch Sharif Bahawalpur overturned and slipped off the road on Mehran highway near Sui Gas bus stop within the jurisdiction of Thari Mirwah police station.

    On 24 August 2014, a coach coming from Punjab to Karachi collided at Kot lalu with a van of Thari city which was traveling from Karachi to Thari Mirwah; 10 passengers were killed on the spot, and 11 injured. All the were natives of Thari Mirwah.

The rural health centre does not meet the emergency rapid response capability; that needs to be upgradated by the Sindh government. Due to lack of education and religious beliefs about 30 children of the vicinity died from measles who were later brought for treatment at Taluka hospital Thari. Dr Qurban Sahito, Taluka hospital medical superintendent, commented that the people in far flung areas still adhere to old customs and beliefs of the Hindu mythology even though most of them are Muslims.
