Operation Milap: In 3 months, 70 missing kids reunited with kin

NEW DELHI: Seventy missing children who were sheltered at various homes across the city have been reunited with their families over the past three months thanks to Delhi Police's Operation Milap.

As part of Operation Milap, Delhi Police tries to reunite missing children sheltered at children's homes with their families on the basis of clues provided by them.

Information on each child at such shelters is checked and efforts made to obtain clues from them about their parents and homes so that they can be reunited with their families, said Ravindra Yadav, Joint Commissioner (Crime).

Police in all the districts of Delhi have been asked to screen and document children living at shelter homes, railway platforms, bus stands, religious places and on the roadsides as part of Operation Milap. The children are photographed and documentation is undertaken to find their parents and guardians, he added.

Crime Branch and Anti-Human Trafficking officials of Delhi Police recently helped five families find their children who had gone missing over the past couple of months.

The five children, who were in the age group 11-15 years, included two brothers. They belonged to different places in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar and were lost while travelling to meet their family members working in Delhi. These children were put in children's homes at Tis Hazari and Rohini, Yadav said.
