Geeta was lost 20 years ago
The family of the deaf and mute Geeta, who reached Pakistan by mistake 20 years ago, is being traced. Geeta had reached Amritsar by train when she was 8 years old. From there, she was found in the Samjhauta Express near Lahore. After living in Pakistan for ten to twelve years, she was brought to India on 26 October 2015 by the then External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj. She has been in Anand Seva Sanstha for four months after staying in Indore's Mukbadhir Sanghatana Ashram for five years.
Meanwhile, Geeta's family was discovered throughout the period. According to her, her family is being traced based on all the websites she remembers. Geeta is being taken to Jintur by members of Anand Seva Sanstha after a family in Jintur in Parbhani district claimed that she was their daughter.
Pahal Foundation to look for Geeta's family
Campaigning will be done in the near future to find Geeta's family through the Pahal Foundation working for the deaf in Parbhani. For this, it is being considered to keep Geeta in Parbhani for a few months. The Anand Seva Society, which looks after Geeta, thinks that her family should be in this area according to her habits, preferences and the food she eats near her house. Due to this, Gyanendra Purohit said that he will keep Geeta in Parbhani and search for her family in this area.
