Allahabad | Tuesday | 5th March, 2019

Summary:

"Our constables help lost people in boarding buses and trains if they are able and remember their address. On the list of registered complaints about people lost during the holy festival over the past two months, 80% of the names are those of the elderly. From January till a day before the auspicious Mahashivaratri Snan on Monday, a total of 67,837 people had been registered as lost. ALLAHABAD: Their wrinkled faces are covered with sorrow but eyes are full of hope as they wait restlessly for their loved ones at the lost-and-found centres in the Kumbh Mela . While 38,500 complaints were from the traditional centre, 29,337 are from the computerised centres..
