Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday said over 90 per cent of missing people reported in the state are traced, but 4-5 per cent cases remain untraced. Calling the issue serious, he told the Legislative Council that the government has set a target to raise the tracing rate to 96 per cent, adding that ideally, it should be 100 per cent; even a single missing case remaining untraced is not acceptable.

Rising concern

BJP MLC Niranjan Davkhare and Congress MLC Bhai Jagtap flagged rising missing and kidnapping cases, especially involving women and minors. Jagtap said while police efforts are commendable, the number of untraced cases remains a concern.
