Army Dog Center Sibi

Army Dog Center in Sibi

Sibi is a town in eastern Balochistan at the mouth of the Bolan Pass, famous for the Sibi Mela festival and for some of the hottest summers in the country. The railway from Quetta passes through it, and roads run to Jacobabad, Harnai and Dera Murad Jamali.

Situations we are asked about in Sibi

• Vehicles taken from the road or the railway station area.
• Livestock taken from a village on the plain.
• A traveller who left a train or bus and cannot be found.
• A shop or house entered during the afternoon heat.

In Sibi's extreme heat, the ground dries within hours, and a trail fades faster than almost anywhere. During the Mela, large crowds gather in the town, and scenes disappear under feet. Scent tracking works best when the call is early and the spot is shaded and closed.

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

Heat in Sibi is a real factor, so tell us the time of day the loss was found and whether the spot was in sun or shade. If someone is missing, say how much water they had, what they wore, and which road or railway line they planned to use. During the Sibi Mela, large crowds fill the streets, so note the name of the street or enclosure where the person was last seen and who they were with.

Calls from Sibi are answered at any hour, including nights, weekends and public holidays.
