CISF Reunites 69 Missing Children, Returns ₹22.8 Lakh in Lost Items at Delhi Metro in 6 Months
The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has reported that over the past six months, it successfully reunited 69 missing children and returned lost items valued at approximately ₹22.8 lakh to passengers in the Delhi Metro network. The data, released by the CISF, highlights the force's role in ensuring passenger safety and security beyond conventional law enforcement.
According to CISF officials, the recovered items included mobile phones, wallets, laptops, and other valuables left behind by commuters. The force operates a dedicated lost-and-found system across all metro stations, with personnel trained to handle such cases efficiently. In addition, the CISF's vigilance helped identify and reunite lost children with their families, often through coordination with station control rooms and local police.
The Delhi Metro, with daily ridership of over 2.5 million passengers, is patrolled by CISF personnel who monitor CCTV feeds and conduct regular patrols. The force's proactive approach has been praised by commuters and authorities alike. The CISF also conducts awareness campaigns advising passengers to keep personal belongings secure and to report any unattended items immediately.
This initiative aligns with the CISF's broader mission to provide a safe and secure environment for metro commuters. The force has also been involved in life-saving efforts, including administering first aid and assisting passengers in medical emergencies.
The recovery of such a large number of lost items and the reunion of missing children demonstrate the CISF's commitment to public service. Officials urge passengers to approach any CISF personnel or use the helpline numbers available at stations if they lose any item or need assistance.
