Army Dog Center in Barkhan

Barkhan is a small mountain district in northeastern Balochistan with narrow valleys, dry riverbeds and the road at Rakhni that links the plains of Dera Ghazi Khan to Loralai. Settlements are small and far apart, and winters can be sharp.

Situations we are asked about in Barkhan

• Livestock or a vehicle taken and driven toward a dry riverbed.
• A person missing on foot between two distant villages.
• A shop or house entered while the owner was away at the pastures.
• A search in broken ground where tracks run across rock rather than soil.

In remote districts, the first hours decide how much a trail can tell. Keep the place closed off, let no one walk through it, and keep worn clothing in a clean bag. Report serious crimes to the police on 15. Then call 0300-5780720, which is answered day and night. Give us your exact location, the nearest road or village, and the time, because distances here are long.

Barkhan is remote, and mobile coverage is not always reliable. If a call drops, please try again or send your location in a message, and mention the nearest landmark such as a well, a shrine, a bridge or a named valley. Because help may take time to arrange across long distances, keep notes while you wait: the time you found the loss, the people who have been at the place, and the direction anyone saw leaving. These details help us advise you clearly, even before a visit is possible.
