Bhubaneswar: The Mancheswar Police successfully rescued an 11-year-old girl who had gone missing from her residence on June 1.
The operation, which lasted over 30 hours, culminated with the child being found in a vehicle near Mancheswar Railway Station.
The information was shared by Bhubaneswar-Cuttack Commissioner of Police S. Dev Datta Singh.
He stated that the girl was reported missing around 9 am on June 1 by a resident of Sameigadia. Acting on the direction of Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi, who has prioritized the safety of women and children, the police immediately launched a coordinated search operation.
“Dedicated teams were formed, comprising personnel for manual search, intelligence gathering, analysis of digital evidence, CCTV surveillance, and other systematic methods. These combined efforts led to the successful rescue of the girl,” Commissioner Singh informed during a press briefing. The child was safely handed over to her family.
In a separate incident, on February 6, Havildar Biswajit Routray, while on patrol duty with PCR-25, responded to a report of a minor boy begging for food near Baba Sweets Stall on Puri Canal Road in Hansapal.
The 10-year-old was rescued and taken to Pahal Police Station. After extensive inquiries in nearby areas, it was discovered that the child had gone missing earlier that morning from Patharbandha Basti under Saheed Nagar Police Station limits. The police contacted his family, and he was safely reunited with them.
