Ranchi Shutdown Over Missing Children
In a place called Ranchi, some people were very worried because two little kids, aged 4 and 5, went missing.
The kids were last seen going to a grocery store near their home on January 2.
The people in the area were so upset that they decided to close all the shops and block some roads for 12 hours on January 11.
They did this to show how unhappy they were that the police couldn't find the children.
A big group of 40 police officers is trying to find the kids, but they haven't been successful yet.
A local leader named Kailash Yadav said the parents are very sad and hopeful that their children will come back.
A politician named Aditya Sahu also met the parents and promised to help them.
A 12-hour shutdown was enforced in Ranchi's Dhurwa area over the disappearance of two children aged 4 and 5.
The children went missing on January 2 after visiting a nearby grocery store.
A special investigation team of 40 personnel has been formed but has not yet found the children.
The shutdown was called by a local committee led by RJD state general secretary Kailash Yadav.
BJP MP Aditya Sahu met the parents and assured them of support, criticizing the police's handling of the case.
