Army Dog Center in Panjgur

Panjgur is a district of the Makran region in southwestern Balochistan, known for its date palms, with dry mountains, wide riverbeds and small oasis villages. Summers are very hot, and the roads to Turbat, Hoshab and Khuzdar cross long stretches of empty country.

Situations we are asked about in Panjgur

• Date harvests or equipment taken from a grove during the season.
• Vehicles or fuel taken from a road between settlements.
• A person missing between oasis villages.
• A house or shop entered while the owner was at the groves.

Oasis villages lie far apart, and between them the land is dry gravel and rock where little keeps a footprint. The heat dries the ground and weakens a trail within hours. Scent tracking is still the best option, but time matters. Date groves have many tracks, shaded paths and irrigation channels, which means anyone can leave without being seen.

Tell us the village, the nearest road or landmark, the direction last seen, and the time. Keep the spot closed. Report serious crimes to the police on 15, then call Army Dog Center on 0300-5780720, which is answered at all hours.

Date harvest in Panjgur brings workers from several villages and sometimes from other districts. If a theft occurred in a grove, tell us who owns it, who was working there, and when the last load left. For anyone missing between villages, say how much water they carried and what they wore, since the heat makes every hour count.

Calls from Panjgur are answered at any hour, including nights, weekends and public holidays.
