The Crime Control Department (CCD) Punjab has successfully recovered seven missing children from various parts of Lahore, including victims of drug abuse, sexual exploitation, and children who had run away from home.

According to a CCD spokesperson, the department’s Anti-Kidnapping for Ransom Cell conducted targeted operations in areas such as Data Darbar, railway stations, and bus terminals.

All rescued children have been safely reunited with their families.

The CCD employed advanced digital tools, including the “Hamara Pyara” mobile application, the Virtual Child Protection Center, and social media platforms to help locate the children.

Moreover, the recovered children are residents of Sheikhupura, Sialkot, Mianwali, and Rawalpindi.

To support their recovery, the children and their families are currently receiving psychological counseling from trained professionals to help them overcome trauma and reintegrate into normal life.
