Under a month long special campaign ‘Muskan’, Haryana Police have managed to trace 427 missing children and have united them with their parents.
From July 1 onwards, Haryana Police had launched Statewide campaign ‘Muskan’ to identify lost children and make efforts so that these children could meet their parents.
