Three children in the age group of two, three, and four years of a family living in machra mandi located in Bhattu Mandi went away from home while playing.
When the family noticed that the children were missing from the house, they started searching for them. While walking, the children reached the ‘kanchi chowk’ in Bhattu. When a person noticed the children alone, he passed the information to the police by dialing 112.
As soon as the information was received, the policemen posted on ERV 214 immediately reached the venue.
The police first fed the children some food and interrogated them but the children were unable to tell anything about the family members. On this, the police personnel took them along in the vehicle and started searching the area while inquiring around. When the family members who were searching for their loved ones got the information, they also reached the spot.
After the proper verification, the police team handed over the children to the family, the spokesperson said.
