In the eighth instance of a child reported missing at beaches and later reunited with the family since the start of this year, a 7-yr-old boy from Andhra Pradesh was reunited with his parents at Calangute beach. According to reporters, a family of three from Andhra Pradesh had gone to Calangute beach and while the father went for a swim, the mother was enjoying the scenic beauty of the sea and their 7-year old boy was playing around the area.
After a while, the mother realised her child was not around her and panicked, while shouting out for help. They approached the lifesaver’s tower for help.
Two Drishti lifesavers carried out a search operation with the aid of the lifesaver’s jeep while announcing about the missing boy. The boy was found after a long search, playing soundly on the shore quite a distance away from where his parents were seated.
He was taken from the spot and reunited with his family.
Since the start of 2021, there have been eight cases of missing children reported at different beaches, where Drishti lifesavers have conducted search operations and reunited them with their families.
