Deaf-and-mute boy (5) & girl (6) wander off, found on railway tracks after 5-hour drama
Nagpur: There was a five-hour-long, edge-of-the-seat drama after a five-year-old girl and a six-year-old boy, both hearing and speech impaired, went missing from their relatives' residence at Aradhana Nagar on Sunday. The frantic search ended only when the two were found aimlessly walking along an under-maintenance railway track in the wee hours of Monday. The search teams heaved a sigh of relief at 2.30am after many tense hours, with the search even including a water-filled ditch amid fears the two may have drowned. Police said the boy and girl, natives of Bihar, had come to Nagpur to visit relatives around a fortnight ago. On Sunday, the two, who were from different families, left home to play at around 5pm but soon lost track of their house. The families, left on tenterhooks when the two did not return, approached Wathoda police station at 9pm. The cops immediately started a search on a war footing. Apart from forming teams, Zonal DCP Rashmitha Rao, ACP Narendra Hiware, and Senior PI Harish Borade also roped in local residents to fan out in different directions. Photographs of the boy and the girl were circulated in local WhatsApp groups. Announcements were made through the public address systems in nearby localities and colonies. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed!

The cops immediately summoned a rescue team. A local diver, Guddu Shewane, took the initiative to jump into the water. The cops were anxious as footprints of the minors could be seen near the ditch. The cops and the aggrieved families were relieved after the search yielded nothing. As the search continued, someone alerted cops about seeing the boy and girl near Chhattarpur farms on the outskirts of the city. Some others had seen the boy and girl walking along the railway tracks where gauge conversion work was underway. The cops, families of the missing minors, volunteers, and others rushed towards the railway track with mobile phone torches and rechargeable LED lights. The boy and girl were finally spotted walking along the track, trying to find a way back home. "The minors were traumatised but safe," said ACP Hiware, adding they were reunited with their families after completing the formalities.

Cops Work Through Power Cut Using Car Headlights
1 2 Nagpur: Even the police have not been spared the power outages. Recently, ACP Sakkardara officers worked in near-total darkness, illuminated only by the headlights of a police vehicle. Speaking to TOI, ACP Narendra Hiware said the power went out just as he returned from duty in the chief minister's convoy. "Three RTI appellants and three PSIs were waiting. So, we continued the hearing process using vehicle headlights," he said. Hiware added that while such incidents are rare, the team opted to proceed with the work rather than delay it. "Since the appellants were already present, we didn't want to waste anyone's time," he explained. Clarifying the recent blackouts, a senior Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) official explained these are due to underground cable damage in construction activities — damage that often remains undetected until days later. The official said, "Weather transition is a challenging time. Even our equipment needs time to adjust. We carry out regular maintenance like oiling and tightening of wires, but some outages are inevitable." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo He explained that often during road or drilling work, underground power cables suffer minor cracks. "Over time, the cracks worsen, leading to a power failure. We have to scan the entire length of the cable to identify one small fault." He said the public is quick to blame MSEDCL, but few acknowledge the rapid response. "The outage in Narendra Nagar on Thursday evening was restored in just 30 minutes. In Reshimbagh, after a three-hour outage late Thursday night, we temporarily shifted load to another cable, and replaced the damaged one on Friday."
