Bureau to trace missing people in mysore

"Based on the guidelines of the Supreme court and the Union ministries of social welfare, home affairs and women and children we have now decided to give special attention to tracing missing persons," said Mysore city police commissioner, K. L. Sudheer, adding that the missing persons bureau in Mysore , only the second of its kind in the state, would be set up in the next four or five days at the Mysore City Crime Records Bureau.

It will store both hard and soft registers of missing persons, accident victims and even unidentfied bodies. The bureau would be expected to coordinate with all police stations and ranges both in Mysore district and neighbouring districts, including Bengaluru, said the commissioner blaming love affairs and emotional disturbances in nuclear families for many of the people going missing in the city.

Of those who went missing last year, 94 minor girls and 85 women have already been traced, but the hunt is on for the others. In 2011, of the 114 minor girls and 214 women who went missing, 89 girls and 170 women were traced and returned to their families .

In all of the 678 people who went missing from Mysore in 2012, only 468 people have been traced so far. And in 2011, of the 634 people reported missing, the police has managed to find 479.
