Army Dog Center in Vehari

Vehari lies in south Punjab near the Sutlej, with Burewala, Mailsi and Dunyapur close by and Multan to the north. It is cotton country, crossed by canals, with ginning factories and grain markets in every town.

Situations we are asked about in Vehari

• Cotton or machinery taken from a ginning factory or store.
• Vehicles taken from roads toward Multan or Burewala.
• Livestock taken from a farm along a canal road.
• A person missing in the fields.

During the cotton season, trucks and workers fill the roads, so strangers are normal and thefts are hard to spot. A flat plain and many canals make it easy to leave quickly. Scent tracking follows banks and field edges.

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

Cotton stores and ginning factories keep gate logs, weighbridge records and often cameras. If a theft happened at one, ask the manager to keep all of these safe and note who was on duty. If a vehicle or tractor was taken, give its colour, make and registration, and the last canal road it was seen on. Tell us whether any worker has recently left the job, since that can help narrow down the timeline.

If a weighbridge or gate camera may have recorded the vehicle, tell us the name of the owner and the time you last saw it, and ask them to keep the recording safe until it can be reviewed.
