Army Dog Center Jhelum

Army Dog Center in Jhelum

Jhelum is a historic garrison city on the Jhelum river and the Grand Trunk Road, close to Rohtas Fort, Tilla Jogian and the Mangla reservoir. It has sent generations of soldiers to the army, and many homes in the district belong to families with sons posted elsewhere or working abroad.

Situations we are asked about in Jhelum

• Houses left empty by serving or overseas family members entered by thieves.
• Vehicles taken from the Grand Trunk Road near Dina or Sohawa.
• A person lost in the ravines and hills around Tilla Jogian or Rohtas.
• Boats, equipment or belongings taken near the Mangla lakeshore.

The ground around Jhelum is a mix of river plain, rocky ravines and dry hills, and a person can step off a village road into country where a search on foot is slow and difficult. A dog follows the person rather than the route. In places like Rohtas or Tilla Jogian there are also many visitors on holidays, which can leave a scene trampled by afternoon.

If you find a loss, keep the doorway or spot closed and avoid cleaning. Report serious crimes to the police on 15, then call Army Dog Center on 0300-5780720 at any time. Tell us the town, village or road, the time, and when the property was last seen secure.

Because many Jhelum homes are looked after by relatives while families are away, keep a note of the last person who checked the property. Tell us whether windows, gates or locks looked forced, and whether anything was left behind. Do not handle tools or items found nearby.
