Army Dog Center in Buner

Buner is a mountain district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with Daggar as its main town, the Ambela Pass to the east, and the shrine of Pir Baba drawing visitors. Marble and farming support many families, and villages are scattered across valleys that close in quickly.

Situations we are asked about in Buner

• A house or shop entered in a valley village while people were at prayer or at work.
• A person who walked up a hillside path and has not returned.
• Vehicles or marble-related equipment taken near the quarries.
• Livestock taken from a mountain pasture overnight.

Search parties spread thin on steep ground, while scent follows a person directly. Please keep the area closed and untouched, and put worn clothing in a clean bag. Report serious crimes to the police on 15. Then call Army Dog Center on 0300-5780720. Tell us the valley or village, the nearest road, and the time you noticed, so we can say plainly what can be arranged.

Buner's villages sit in separate valleys, and a short distance on the map can mean an hour on a mountain road. Weather can close a valley road and wash out a hillside path in a single storm. Please tell us which valley you are in, how far the road reaches, and whether the last known place of the person is above or below the village. If you can, ask neighbours to stay off the path until help arrives. Careful notes of times and places make our advice much more useful.
