Mumbai police data reveal that 145 children have gone missing in the city over the past seven months, including 93 girls and 52 boys. Most cases involve children aged between 12 and 17 years, with disappearances reported across various suburbs. Authorities say many children are found later, often having run away for personal reasons, but some remain untraced, prompting fears of trafficking and exploitation. Police have intensified search efforts, issued alerts and urged families to report promptly. Child welfare organisations stress the need for greater community vigilance and preventive measures to protect vulnerable youths. (PC: Instagram)
