Army Dog Center in Narowal

Narowal is a border district in northeastern Punjab, home to Kartarpur Sahib, the Sikh shrine where Guru Nanak spent his last years, with Shakargarh and Zafarwal in the district. The Ravi flows along the border, and the land is flat farmland with many canals and drains.

Situations we are asked about in Narowal

• Pilgrims or visitors separated from a group around Kartarpur.
• Vehicles or motorcycles taken from roads near Shakargarh or Zafarwal.
• Houses entered in villages while families were at the fields.
• A person missing along the Ravi or its flood embankments.

Visitors to Kartarpur arrive in groups, and in such a crowd, someone can be separated easily. In the villages, the Ravi's embankments and many canals make quiet routes. Floods in some years cover large stretches of land and change the ground. A dog follows scent along embankments and field edges, but flooding can erase a trail, so it helps to call early.

Tell us the village or area, the nearest canal or road, and the time. Report serious crimes to the police on 15, then call Army Dog Center on 0300-5780720, any hour. Keep the spot closed and untouched.

If you were at Kartarpur or another busy site, note the gate you used, the time of day and any staff or officials who spoke to you. Their records can help establish a timeline. For villages near the border, tell us the name of the nearest canal or road, and whether it was crossed during the night.
