“Mera Pyara” team reunites old woman with family
LAHORE, Nov 18 (APP):The “Mera Pyara” team successfully reunited a 73-year-old mentally challenged woman with her family.
The woman, Barkat Bibi, had gone missing from Kamoke 15 days ago. The “Mera Pyara” team visited Edhi Homes as part of their ongoing efforts to collect data on missing children
and individuals and they found Barkat Bibi who had been residing at the shelter for the past two weeks.
She was suffering from dementia and unable to provide any information about herself.
Despite several follow-up sessions, the team initially faced challenges in identifying her
family. However, through biometric verification, they managed to locate her relatives
and bring her home safely.
The family expressed their gratitude to the chief minister Punjab, the IG Punjab, and CTO Lahore for the reunion.
The CTO has announced cash rewards and certificates of appreciation for the team.
The public is encouraged to use the “Mera Pyara” feature available in the Punjab Police app to report missing persons.
The app is being updated daily with information on missing individuals to assist families in finding their loved ones, Chief Traffic Officer Ammara Athar said.
