Army Dog Center Shikarpur

Army Dog Center in Shikarpur

Shikarpur is an old trading city of upper Sindh, with old brick houses, narrow lanes and busy bazaars, and Lakhi Ghulam Shah, Garhi Yasin and Sultan Kot in the district. It lies between Sukkur and Larkana, with rice and wheat farmland around.

Situations we are asked about in Shikarpur

• Theft from a shop or house in the old city.
• Vehicles taken from roads toward Sukkur or Larkana.
• Livestock or farm equipment taken from a village.
• A person missing in the fields or along a canal.

In the old city, houses are tightly packed and lanes are narrow, so a scene is small but easily crowded. In the countryside, canals and flat fields give offenders quiet routes. Scent tracking works in both settings, as it follows the person and not the route.

In the old city, houses often share courtyards, so tell us which family shares the entrance, which room was entered and whether anyone heard noises during the night. Do not let neighbours enter to look around, however well meant, because additional footprints and scents make the work harder.

If the loss happened in the bazaar, tell us the name of the lane, the shop number and the trade, and ask neighbouring shopkeepers whether anyone noticed a stranger before closing. Keep the shutter down and ask people to stay off the doorstep, since every extra footprint at the threshold makes the work harder.

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