Shahbandar Tehsil, also known as Shah Bunder (Sindhi: شاهه بندر, Urdu: شاہ بندر), is a Tehsil (Taluka) and administrative subdivision of Sujawal District in Sindh, Pakistan. Its administrative centre is the town of Shahbandar. Located in the southeast of Sindh along the Arabian Sea, it is one of five talukas, alongside Jati, Kharo Chhan, Mirpur Bathoro, and Sujawal, that were formed when Sujawal District was carved out of Thatta District. The taluka is contributing to the local economy through agriculture, fishing, and trade.
In 2023, several villages in Shah Bunder were affected by Cyclone Biparjoy, as the region's proximity to the coastline makes it vulnerable to such storms and frequent torrential rains in its coastal areas.[2][3]
