Children rescued
Two minors who had run away from home have been rescued from a railway station in Mumbai by a Nadia resident who works in the Maharashtra capital. Paban Ghosh, a labour contractor in Navi Mumbai, found Subhankar Halder, 16, and Biplab Majumder, 14, weeping on a platform of Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus last week. He learnt that they were residents of Lake Town and brought them back to Calcutta on Friday. The children, who had fled on the day of Saraswati Puja after being scolded by parents, have been reunited with their families.
Minor saved
Officers of South Port police station stopped parents of a minor girl from getting her married on Friday. The 15-year-old, a resident of Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh, had come to Calcutta with her parents to attend a wedding reception. Police sources said that when the girl’s father, who drives a truck, told her that he was fixing her marriage to a youth he had met at the reception, the girl alerted her maternal uncle, who got in touch with the police. The police recorded a complaint and warned the girl’s father against trying to get his minor daughter married.
