ASHA AND NILEEN AT RESCUE JUNCTION

This little girl ,only 18 months old was found alone and weeping and very distressed wandering the platforms of the station. Immediate attempts to find the parents involving the police and searching trains were to no avail, and at the request of the Police, Nileen as the staff have named here( it means surrended), was admitted with special arrangements to Rescue Junction. Widespread publicity in the local media and posters at the station have bought no result so far in our attempts to find her family. Nileen will be presented, if her family are not found to the nearest Child Welfare Committee in Patna (over 100 km away) as there is no such panel in Gaya.

It is really remarkable that Rescue Junction remains the only such facilty in the whole district to care for such children.

No missing or kidnapping case has been found regarding Nileen, it appears she may have been intentionally abandoned.
