The Gujarat Police have traced 1,470 missing persons during a month-long statewide drive ‘Operation Milap’, launched on May 7 to review and investigate pending missing persons cases.
According to police, a total of 24,767 people have been reported missing in Gujarat since 2007. The operation was aimed at locating missing individuals and reuniting them with their families.
