The Delhi Police on Tuesday reunited 23 missing children living in different children homes in the Capital with their parents as a part of their special drive — “Milap”.

The Delhi Police launched this drive two weeks ago and have so far reunited 26 children with their families. Under this drive, Crime Branch officials check the background of each and every child in children homes and try to locate their families based on the clues provided by the children.

Talking about the success of the drive, Joint commissioner of Police (Crime) Ravindra Yadav said: “These children were taken into confidence and after compassionate persuasive conversation they revealed clues about their native places. On the basis of the minor clues and details provided by them, their parents were contacted either through telephone or via local police stations.”

The children had come to Delhi either after being rebuked by their elders or in search of a job. The parents who were reunited with their children thanked the police.
