Alhamdulillah, after five years of separation since 2021, a woman with speech and hearing impairment has finally been reunited with her family. A deeply emotional moment made possible through the dedicated efforts of Mera Pyara - Virtual Center for Child Safety, working under the vision of Punjab Safe Cities Authority.
The woman was found in a vulnerable and unidentified condition in the Rajanpur area. At the time of found she was unable to communicate her name, address, or any details about her family due to her disability. With no identification available, she was shifted to Edhi Home Multan for her protection, care, and well-being.
She remained there for several years, living among other vulnerable individuals, while her family continued to search for her with hope and uncertainty.
When the case came to the attention of the Punjab Safe Cities Authority, the Mera Pyara team took immediate action. As part of its mission to identify and reunite missing individuals, the team collected all available information about the woman and shared her details on Mera Pyara’s official social media platforms.
This outreach soon led to a breakthrough.
Her father came across the information shared online and immediately contacted the Mera Pyara team, confirming that the woman was his daughter, who had been missing since 2021.
Following this lead, the Mera Pyara team initiated a thorough verification process. The family provided necessary identification details and supporting information, which were carefully reviewed. After completing all required verification and legal procedures, the woman, identified as Mumtaz Bibi, was finally reunited with her family.
The reunion was filled with deep emotions, as years of separation ended in a moment of relief, gratitude, and love.
