Army Dog Center D.G. Khan

Army Dog Center in Dera Ghazi Khan

Dera Ghazi Khan lies on the west bank of the Indus beneath the Koh-e-Suleiman range, with Fort Munro above it, the shrine at Sakhi Sarwar in the district, and Taunsa barrage to the north. It is the gateway between the plains of south Punjab and the mountain country of Balochistan.

Situations we are asked about in Dera Ghazi Khan

• Vehicles taken on the roads running toward Fort Munro, Rajanpur or Taunsa.
• Shop theft in the city bazaars around the main chowk.
• Livestock driven from a village toward dry hill streams.
• Pilgrims or visitors separated from their group near a shrine.

The land here changes fast, from irrigated farm to stony hill within an hour. Hill streams run dry for months and then flood without warning, so what is on the ground one day may be gone the next. A call soon after an incident gives a trained dog the best chance of following scent over stone and sand. Please keep the spot clear and untouched while you wait.

Report serious crimes to the police on 15, then call Army Dog Center on 0300-5780720. Our line is open 24 hours. Tell us the town or village, the nearest road, and the time, and we will explain plainly what can be arranged for your location.

Dera Ghazi Khan's summers are severe, and the dust that blows in from the desert side covers footprints in minutes. When you report, mention whether the place is on the city side, the river side or the hill side, and whether a vehicle road reaches it. Families who travel to the shrines or to Fort Munro for the weekend sometimes return to find a house entered, so also tell us when you last saw the property secure.
