In a positive turn of events, three school-going children who had gone missing from Handwara in Jammu and Kashmir were located in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. The trio, identified as Nazim Mumtaz, Faizan Hameed Mir, and Uzair Ahmad Dar, had been missing since the previous Monday, sparking concerns among their families and the locals.
The missing boys, Nazim Mumtaz, son of Mumtaz Ahmad Lone from Phalmarg; Faizan Hameed Mir, son of Abdul Hameed Mir from Kalmoona; and Uzair Ahmad Dar, son of Mohammad Shafi Dar from Chammpora, had prompted an extensive search effort in and across their hometown.
An official source involved in the search and rescue operation revealed, “After looking for every possible place, the trio couldn’t be located until information was received from Chennai in Tamil Nadu about their presence.” This information provided a crucial breakthrough in the search for the missing children.
Confirming the receipt of information about the sighting of the trio in Chennai, a police official stated that they are in constant communication with the authorities in Tamil Nadu. The goal is to ensure the safe return of all three boys to their families at the earliest possible moment.
The discovery of the missing children in Chennai has brought hope and relief to their families and the local community in Handwara. Efforts are now focused on coordinating their return and ensuring their well-being as they reunite with their loved ones. The circumstances surrounding their disappearance and subsequent journey to Chennai remain under investigation, and authorities are determined to provide clarity in this matter.
