The Haryana Police and the Women and Child Development Department have decided to jointly launch a month-long campaign 'Muskaan' from Wednesday to rescue missing children in the state.
DGP YP Singhal and DG of Women and Child Development Department <g data-gr-id="18">Amneet</g> P Kumar informed this to concerned officers of both the departments on Wednesday. The drive aims to trace the missing, destitute and separated children and <g data-gr-id="19">re-unite</g> them with their parents, Singhal said.
The campaign has been divided into two parts. In the first part, those children will be identified who have either gone missing or got separated from their parents and living like destitute, while the second part is to re-unite them with their parents or guardians, the DGP said.
He said the first campaign of this kind was launched in the country in January 2015 in which 3,000 missing children were traced. "Out of these 99 were from Haryana," Singhal said.
