Alarm Grows in Assam’s Mariani Over Missing Girl Students

Two young girls from the Kharikatia Tea Garden in Assam’s Mariani have been missing for nearly a month, causing widespread alarm in the area. The girls, who were in the fifth and third grades, went out for an outing on May 29 and never returned home. Despite relentless efforts, the Mariani Police have been unable to trace their whereabouts, and the prolonged absence, along with the lack of substantial leads, has intensified local residents’ worry.

There is growing suspicion that the girls may have fallen victim to human traffickers. This incident is not isolated, as there have been multiple reports of attempted child abductions in the tea garden areas of Mariani recently, raising concerns about the safety of children. The disappearance of the two young girls has escalated the sense of panic in the community.
