The issue of missing persons in Bihar has raised significant concerns, particularly when it comes to cases involving children and young adults. Several factors contribute to this problem, including human trafficking, family disputes, and individuals leaving home voluntarily. The state has witnessed an increase in missing persons reports, which has prompted the government and law enforcement to take more proactive measures in investigating and resolving these cases.
The Bihar Police have established specialized units to deal with missing persons, which involve intensive search operations, data sharing with neighboring states, and collaboration with NGOs. Authorities are also working on increasing public awareness about safety measures to prevent abductions and disappearances. Despite these efforts, the complexity of cases, especially those linked to human trafficking, makes solving them a difficult task. Local communities’ cooperation is crucial in locating missing individuals and preventing further cases.
