The Madawala police post has set a remarkable example of humanity and sensitivity. As part of Panchkula police’s special campaign, “Din Ki Pehchan, Ek Nek Kaam”, station in-charge Bhim Singh and his team reunited three young girls with their family, bringing tears of joy and relief to their parents.

According to DCP Srishti Gupta, the incident occurred on September 23 around 10.30 am. The three girls, aged 7, 6, and 4, had lost their way from home in the Madawala area and were found crying by the roadside nearly two kilometres away. During patrol duty, the police team noticed them. The children, sobbing, told the officers, “Police uncle, we can’t find our home. We want to go to mummy.”

Hearing this, the police team immediately swung into action. On questioning, the girls could only recall that there was a large peepal tree near their house. Using this small clue, the police team searched various locations in the area for nearly two hours. Their efforts finally bore fruit, and the officers traced the family home.

Around 12.30 pm, the girls were safely handed over to their relatives, who embraced their daughters with tears and expressed heartfelt gratitude to the police team for their humane act. DCP Gupta praised the efforts of the Madawala police post, stating that this action was not only about bringing the children home safely but also a symbol of strengthening public trust in the police.

She urged citizens to keep a constant watch over children, cautioning that negligence can lead to serious incidents such as road accidents. She emphasised that every member of society must act responsibly and prioritise children’s safety.
