New Delhi, Jan 2 (NationPress) In an impressive milestone achieved last year, the Delhi Police successfully located a collective of 1,303 missing individuals in 2025, which included 434 children and 869 adults.

The South-West District Police undertook these efforts as part of 'Operation Milap', a dedicated initiative focused on reuniting missing persons with their families.

In December, the South-West District Police managed to trace 102 missing individuals, which consisted of 35 children and 67 adults. These recoveries occurred during coordinated search operations from December 1 to December 31.

A statement from Amit Goel, IPS, Deputy Commissioner of Police for the South-West District, highlighted the relentless work by police teams to bring home 35 missing or kidnapped children and 67 adults.

Upon receiving reports of missing individuals, immediate action was initiated with local police stations launching search operations without delay.

The police utilized local intelligence and conducted extensive field inquiries. They examined CCTV footage from surrounding areas and circulated photographs of missing individuals at public venues such as auto-rickshaw stands, bus terminals, and railway stations. Inquiries were also made with bus drivers, conductors, vendors, and shopkeepers to trace the whereabouts of the missing people.

Furthermore, local informants were engaged to support police during search operations. Records from nearby police stations and hospitals were thoroughly scrutinized to gather potential leads. These concerted efforts significantly contributed to the successful recovery of missing individuals.

Thanks to these swift, coordinated, and strategic actions, the South-West District Police located 102 missing persons during December.
