Sometimes, a small clue can lead to a life-changing reunion. Aimen Abdul Razzaq's journey back to her family is a testament to the importance of persistent efforts, child-sensitive engagement, and community cooperation in reuniting separated families.
On 17 October 2026, Aimen, a special child, was found unattended in Faisal Town, Lahore. To protect her safety, the police arranged her transfer to Edhi Home Lahore, where she received care and shelter. However, due to her condition, Aimen was unable to communicate sufficient information about her home, parents, or family.
To trace her family, the Mera Pyara Team which is working under Punjab Safe Cities Authority (PSCA) began a dedicated search. Through repeated interviews and careful interactions, the team attempted to gather even the smallest details that could help establish her identity and whereabouts. During these interactions, Aimen mentioned that she lived near an area known as Machine Wala Bhatta, but could not provide any further information.
Recognizing the importance of this limited clue, the Mera Pyara Team conducted further inquiries and identified a locality known as Machine Wala Bhatta near Daroghawala, Lahore. The team subsequently accompanied Aimen to the area, visiting different streets and locations in the hope that familiar surroundings might help her recognize her home or recall additional details.
During the search, Aimen recognized a particular street. At that moment, a local tea vendor noticed her and recognized her as someone he knew. When approached, he confirmed that he knew Aimen and her parents and helped the team contact her family.
Further coordination led the team to Aimen's home, where her parents were found anxiously waiting for their daughter and hoping for her safe return.
Following the required legal proceedings and verification, Aimen was safely handed over to her parents through Bilquis Edhi Home Lahore.
Alhamdulillah, another family, has been reunited through Mera Pyara's dedicated efforts. Aimen's story highlights how persistent follow-up, professional fieldwork, and community participation can help overcome communication barriers and bring separated families back together.
