Important Phone Numbers of Quetta City 2026: Emergency Helplines

This independently checked directory collects the most useful important phone numbers of Quetta in one mobile-friendly page. Short codes are prioritized because old local landlines frequently change. Where a Quetta-specific number is included, the table identifies the responsible organization and encourages you to verify it.

Quetta emergency numbers: verified master list

Short codes may behave differently on some networks, roaming connections, office exchanges or weak signals. If a short code fails, use the listed full number or ask another nearby phone user to call. Do not make test calls to emergency services.

Quetta police helpline and police-station contacts

Dial 15 when a crime is in progress, a person is in immediate danger, violence is occurring, or urgent police attendance is required. Give a clear landmark, street or map location. If safe, note the suspect or vehicle description, direction of travel and whether weapons are involved. Do not confront an armed person to obtain more information.

For a complaint about police service or an issue that is not an immediate emergency, Balochistan Police operates the 1715 IGP Complaint Centre for voice calls and SMS. The official district contact page lists Quetta Range at 081-9201939. These administrative channels should not replace 15 where seconds matter.

Selected Quetta police-station landlines

Station boundaries and landlines can change. The official Balochistan Police directory is the best place to reconfirm a local station. If you are unsure of jurisdiction, call 15 and describe the location.

Ambulance and medical emergency numbers in Quetta

For a serious medical emergency or rescue incident, try 1122. Edhi Foundation publishes 115 as its emergency call for ambulance assistance. Tell the dispatcher the patient’s age, main problem, consciousness and breathing status, exact location, nearest landmark and callback number.

Do not drive a critically ill person yourself if professional emergency transport is available and delay would not be greater. An ambulance may offer safer movement and pre-hospital assistance, but resources and response time depend on location and availability. If one service cannot respond, call the alternative and the nearest appropriate emergency department.

What counts as an urgent medical emergency?

• Difficulty breathing, choking, blue lips or severe asthma symptoms
• Chest pressure, sudden sweating or symptoms suggesting a heart attack
• Sudden facial weakness, arm weakness or speech difficulty suggesting stroke
• Unconsciousness, seizure lasting several minutes or repeated seizures
• Heavy bleeding, serious burns, poisoning or major trauma
• Severe allergic reaction with facial, tongue or throat swelling
• Pregnancy emergency, heavy bleeding or imminent delivery complications
• A child who is unresponsive, struggling to breathe or severely dehydrated

Hospital switchboard numbers found on crowd-sourced directories are often outdated or formatted incorrectly, so this page does not present them as verified emergency dispatch lines. For routine appointments, obtain the number from the hospital’s official page or a current reception desk source rather than calling emergency services.

Quetta fire brigade and gas-leak numbers

Call 16 for a fire emergency. Quetta Fire Brigade’s public first-party listing has also published city-station alternatives including 081-9203400, 081-9211410, 081-9203330 and 081-2823000. Because local station numbers may change, use them as alternatives when 16 does not connect and reconfirm this directory periodically.

What to report

• Exact address, neighbourhood and nearest landmark
• What is burning: house, shop, vehicle, gas cylinder, electrical equipment or vegetation
• Whether people are trapped or injured
• Whether gas cylinders, fuel, chemicals or electrical lines are involved
• Your safe callback number

Leave the building using the nearest safe exit. Do not use a lift during a fire. Do not return for belongings. If clothing catches fire, stop, drop and roll. Never throw water on live electrical equipment or burning cooking oil.

Gas smell or suspected leak

Call Sui Southern Gas Company at 1199 or its official Quetta Emergency Centre at 081-9203652. Avoid flames, smoking, matches and electrical switches. Do not operate a phone while standing inside a strong gas cloud; move to a safe location first. If safe without creating a spark or delaying evacuation, ventilate the area and close the supply valve.

QESCO electricity complaints and dangerous wires

For electricity complaints involving QESCO’s service area, the national power-sector Customer Complaint Management System lists 118 for calls and 8118 for SMS. This can be used for supply complaints and escalation. For a fallen wire, sparking transformer, fire or electrocution risk, keep people away and explain that it is a life-threatening hazard rather than a routine outage.

Never touch a fallen cable, metal fence, wet surface or vehicle that may be energized. Electricity can travel through water and conductive objects. If someone is in contact with a live source, do not grab them directly. Disconnect power only if you can do so safely and call emergency responders.

Information needed for an electricity complaint

• Consumer reference number from the bill, when relevant
• Account holder name and service address
• Mobile callback number
• Nature of complaint: outage, dangerous wire, transformer fault, billing or voltage
• Complaint reference number for follow-up

Do not pay an individual who calls or messages claiming they can “remove” a complaint or reconnect power privately. Use official billing and complaint channels, retain the complaint number and report suspected fraud.

Road emergencies, highways and disaster assistance

For assistance on national highways and motorways, call the official NHMP helpline 130. Give the road name, nearest milestone, interchange or landmark, direction of travel, vehicle description and type of incident. Move behind a safety barrier where available and stay away from moving traffic.

For a major flood, earthquake, severe-weather event or multi-agency disaster in Balochistan, PDMA publishes its control room as 081-9241133. PDMA’s office information also lists 081-9241118 and fax 081-9241126. During a large incident, lines may be busy; follow official warnings and avoid spreading unverified messages.

Breakdown or crash precautions

• Switch on hazard lights and move off the live carriageway if possible.
• Do not stand between damaged vehicles or in the path of traffic.
• Do not move a seriously injured person unless there is immediate danger.
• Warn approaching traffic only from a safe position.
• Record the location before phone battery or signal is lost.
• Share your journey plan with family on remote Balochistan routes.

Women, children and human-rights helplines

For immediate violence or danger, call Police 15. The Ministry of Human Rights provides the nationwide toll-free 1099 helpline for legal advice, counselling and referral concerning human-rights violations. Balochistan’s women’s helpline has been publicized as 1089 for harassment and domestic or gender-based violence; reconfirm current availability.

If calling openly could increase danger, use a safer phone or contact a trusted person who can call on your behalf. Avoid confronting an abuser solely to collect evidence. Preserve threatening messages where safe, but personal safety takes priority.

Child helpline 1121 operates in parts of Pakistan, but nationwide and Balochistan coverage is not consistently documented in the official sources reviewed. For a child in immediate danger in Quetta, call Police 15 or Rescue 1122 and contact a relevant child-protection authority. Do not delay urgent reporting while trying to determine jurisdiction.

Cybercrime, scam calls and stolen-mobile help

FIA’s official complaint information lists 1991 and 051-111-345-786. Its Quetta Zone contact page lists Director Quetta at 081-9202774. Cybercrime responsibilities and portals can change between agencies, so use the current official complaint portal linked by FIA and retain the acknowledgement number.

PTA publishes 0800-55055 for telecom consumer complaints. To check a handset’s IMEI status, PTA says to send the 15-digit IMEI to 8484 or use DIRBS. For a lost or stolen phone, lodge the required blocking complaint through PTA’s official Complaint Management System; do not confuse an IMEI status check with a theft report.

After online fraud or account compromise

1. Contact the bank or mobile-wallet provider immediately using its official number.
2. Freeze or secure affected accounts and change passwords from a trusted device.
3. Save transaction IDs, phone numbers, messages, URLs and screenshots.
4. Report through the relevant official cybercrime or police channel.
5. Do not send a second payment to someone promising recovery.
6. Never share an OTP, PIN, password or remote-access code with a caller.

How to make an effective emergency call

Panic can make details difficult to communicate. Start with the location and type of emergency because a call may disconnect. Use a known landmark, street, neighbourhood and map pin where possible. Then state how many people are injured or at risk and any special hazards.

A useful opening is: “I am calling from [exact place] in Quetta. There is [fire/crash/medical emergency/crime]. [Number] people may be injured or trapped. My callback number is [number].” Answer questions, follow instructions and do not end the call until the operator tells you to do so.

Prepare your household

• Save 15, 1122, 115, 16, 1199, 118 and 130 in each family phone.
• Write them near the main door or electricity board.
• Teach children their address and one trusted adult’s number.
• Keep medicine, allergy and emergency-contact information accessible.
• Download an offline map or note landmarks if you live outside central Quetta.
• Check fire extinguishers, gas valves and first-aid supplies periodically.

Numbers that should not be mixed into a Quetta directory

Many copied lists show Karachi-specific Chhipa, KMC, Aman or hospital numbers as if they dispatch within Quetta. A national short code may work beyond its home city, but a Karachi office listing is not automatically a Quetta response number. This page therefore avoids presenting city-specific services from another province as confirmed local coverage.

Likewise, a hospital booking-platform helpline is not the same as the hospital’s emergency department. Commercial ambulance listings can be useful, but they should not be labelled “official government emergency” without evidence. When life is at risk, prioritize recognized emergency channels and give clear location information.
