Four teenage girls, who went missing from West Bengal’s North 24 Parganas district, were rescued from Bhubaneswar, a police officer said on Sunday.

The girls, all students of class 9, went missing from Thakurnagar in Gaighata police station area on December 5, he said.

With the help of their mobile tower location, police tracked them to the Khurda station in Odisha. The RPF was immediately informed, and the girls were rescued, he added.

The girls were brought back to Gaighata on Sunday and will be handed over to their families on Monday after due legal process, the officer said.

An investigation is underway to ascertain how and why the girls went to Odisha, he said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
