LAHORE: The interim chief minister of Punjab, Mohsin Naqvi, has instructed officials to ensure that the public app of Punjab police, Mera Pyara, is made functional soon.
The app aims to reunite lost individuals with their loved ones, especially children, elderly persons, and those suffering from dementia and schizophrenia.
The app will contain biodata, photos, fingerprints, and ID card and B-form details of lost individuals, along with their family members’ information. DNA tests of lost persons and their families will also be conducted.
To support the effort, data on lost persons in Punjab police stations, orphanages, Dar ul-Aman, and other institutions will be uploaded to the app. Citizens can upload reports of lost individuals through cell phones, front desks, security centres, and service centres.
Naqvi praised the efforts of the Lahore Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) for reuniting a lost child with his family after six years. The child had been waiting for his family at the Gujranwala Child Protection Bureau for six years, as the father had passed away while searching for him.
During his visit to Gujranwala, he directed the police to locate the child’s family.
