A minor girl from Mangan in North Sikkim, who had gone missing since April 16, was successfully traced and rescued from Bilkhawthlir in Mizoram by a dedicated team from Mangan Police Station.

Police have also urged parents and guardians to remain vigilant about their children’s online interactions, especially on social media platforms.
