A girl who went missing from Islamabad 17 years ago has been found at the Edhi Centre in Karachi.
Kiran, now 27 years old, who disappeared from Islamabad 17 years earlier, has been handed over to her father by the Edhi Centre in Karachi. Her recovery and identification were made possible through the cooperation and efforts of Safe City Punjab.
During the meeting, Kiran explained that she had left home to buy ice cream but lost her way. Later, someone brought her to the Edhi Centre in Islamabad. Some time afterwards, the late Bilquis Edhi took her to Karachi, where she remained under the care of the Edhi Centre.
Kiran said that during her stay at the Edhi Centre, she received both religious and worldly education, and her time there passed very pleasantly.
Expressing her happiness at reuniting with her parents, she said that today is the most important day of her life.
According to the Edhi Centre in-charge, Shabana Faisal, Kiran was sent to Islamabad several times by bus service to trace her parents, but no clue could be found.
She added that in recent days, 12 children from across the country have been reunited with their parents, while Kiran is the fifth girl from Karachi whose parents have been traced.
The efforts of the Edhi Foundation are being widely appreciated on social media, and the news of Kiran’s return home has created an atmosphere of joy and emotion.
