Dalbandin (Urdu: دالبندین) is a city and Union council of Balochistan, Pakistan.[1] It is located at an altitude of 843 m (2769 ft).[2] Dalbandin is famous for fruit orchards.
On 19 January 2011, it was struck by a 7.2 magnitude earthquake.[3] At that time it was a sparsely populated area with a population of 15,000.[4] The tremors of the earthquake were felt from Dubai in the middle-east to Karachi and Lahore in eastern Pakistan. The damage from earthquake was limited since Dalbandin is sparsely populated and the earthquake was shallower.[5]
