Kolkata: A woman from Bihar, who disappeared 17 years ago, has been united with her family with the help of Ham Radio in West Bengal. The woman went missing when her son was only six years old, one daughter was married, and the other daughter was still in school. The woman went to a fair with her two daughters and the son. The three children got on the merry-go-round (Nagordola in Bengali) and after the amusement ride, they couldn't find their mother anywhere. Despite frantic searches, no trace of her was found.
The family hailed from Bihar's Belhara district and were living in Kumaripur village. According to sources, a woman was seen wandering around the streets of Kolkata during the Covid-19 period. She caught the eye of the police patrolling the lockdown. The woman could not say anything about her name during the police interrogation.
She was then admitted to a hospital on the initiative of the cops. The Ore Hospital authorities handed him over to the Missionaries of Charity in Kalighat. After a few days, she was transferred from there to the Missionaries of Charity Home at Bishnupur in South 24 Parganas. After living there for a long time, a request was made to the West Bengal Radio Club on their behalf so that the woman could be sent home.
