Reunification of a lady with her family
17th May 2014

We received a letter from Odisha State Branch requesting local assistance for release of a lady who was admitted in the Thane Regional Mental Hospital. She belonged to Paikujpura village, Post-Baisinga of Mayurbhanj district of Odisha & was mentally disturbed as her husband asked her to leave the house.

She was found by the Mumbai police who took her to the Thane Mental Hospital. However, she had left her child somewhere & was not even aware of this. After being treated by the doctors for a year, she was mentally stable.

On 17th May Ms. Kanchan Awate, Tracing Officer from Maharashtra State Branch went to Thane Mental Hospital with those from Odisha & reunited the family. The child however remains lost & the mother does not even recollect what happened after she left home or about the loss of her child.
