As life returns to a new -normal- for Mumbaikars, children who were rescued in Mumbai and were not able to go back to their home states because of the lockdown, are still waiting to be reunited with their families. While inter-state travel resumed last month, there is a delay in completing the formalities and many kids in children-s homes are still waiting for the approval from their home states.

Before the lockdown was announced, around 40 children who were rescued mostly from CSMT and Mumbai Central Railway station late last year and kept at the Observation Home in Dongri were all set to return to their hometowns. However, after the lockdown was implemented, they had to stay back.
