Over 1.8 Lakh Children Missing in Delhi Over Decade, 50,000 Still Untraced

Over 1.8 Lakh Children Missing in Delhi Over Decade, 50,000 Still Untraced

Imagine a big city called Delhi where, over the last 10 years, more than 180,000 children got lost.

Sadly, even with lots of trying, about 50,000 of them are still not found.

More girls tend to go missing than boys.

Most of the children who go missing are teenagers, like kids in middle school or high school.

However, the youngest children, like toddlers and those in early elementary school, are found more often.

During the year with the big virus scare, fewer children went missing because everyone had to stay home.

Even though police and others are working hard, many children are still missing, which is a big worry for the city.
