Those distraught with no news about their missing kin came together to form a new group ‘Tera Bachcha Mera Bachcha’ on Sunday. With the help of social activists, police and software experts, the updated information about missing children and persons from the city and also the state, parents and relatives are a tad more confident about getting some news about their dear ones who haven’t been traced even after the FIR has been filed since last two months to three years.

One Aparna Jadhav (15), a Std IX student, went missing two months ago. Her mother, Archana Jadhav, said, “My daughter went to her regular tuition class on February 2, 2013, but has not returned till today. I filed an FIR with the local police and also given advertisements in the local newspapers. However, her whereabouts are not known yet.”
