Army Dog Center in Wazirabad

Wazirabad is a city on the Chenab in northern Punjab, famous across the country for its cutlery, with the Grand Trunk Road, a large railway junction and the Alexandra Bridge. Gujranwala, Sialkot and Gujrat are all close.

Situations we are asked about in Wazirabad

• Knives, tools or stock taken from a cutlery workshop at night.
• Vehicles taken from the Grand Trunk Road or the bridge approaches.
• A person missing near the river or the railway.
• Houses entered while families were away.

Workshops run on small premises and stand empty overnight, and the river and railway offer easy routes. In summer, the Chenab's floodplain changes shape. A dog follows scent along riverbanks and tracks where marks do not show.

Tell us the area, the lane 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.

Wazirabad's cutlery workshops often share lanes and walls, so neighbours may have heard or seen something. Ask quietly, and note names and the time of each remark. Tell us who last locked the workshop, how many entrances it has, and whether any tool, bundle or machine was moved. Keep the workshop closed, and do not let anyone sort the stock until we have spoken.

If the workshop sits near the river or railway, tell us which side it faces and whether any train passed during the night, since noise can explain why no one heard anything. Ask neighbouring workshops whether their cameras cover the shared lane, and keep a list of those who agreed to save recordings.

Areas we cover around Wazirabad

Calls from Wazirabad come from the city bazaars, the cutlery and knife workshops, the railway junction, Alipur Chatha Road, Sohdra, Ramnagar and the villages along the Chenab. The Grand Trunk Road and the old bridge over the river carry traffic day and night, and many houses sit in narrow lanes close to the workshops.

Questions people ask in Wazirabad

Can a dog help after a theft from a workshop? Yes, if the door, the tools and the yard are left as they were. Keep workers out of the area and tell us who had keys and who was last inside.

What if a vehicle or animal went toward the river? Tell us the bridge or road, the time and the direction. Banks and canals are soft ground, so call early, before traffic and weather spoil the trail.

Do you serve the villages outside the city? Give the village, the nearest road and a landmark, and we will say honestly what can be arranged and how long it may take.
