Mirpur Khas (Sindhi and Urdu: میرپور خاص; meaning "Town of the most-high Mirs") is a city in Sindh province, Pakistan. The city was built by Talpur rulers of Mankani branch. According to the 2017 Census of Pakistan, its population was 205,913.[3] Mirpur Khas is known for its mango cultivation, with hundreds of varieties of the fruit produced each year - it is also called the “City of Mangoes,” and has been home to an annual mango festival since 1955.[4] After the completion of Hyderabad-Mirpurkhas dual carriage way, the city has become hub of commercial activities.
