Operation Smile: When the Uniform Brought Lost Ones Back Home

National News: Sometimes uniform is not just the identity of the law, it becomes the hope of the mother's love, the son's call and the families of the separated families. The 'Operation Muskan' run by Haryana Police in March 2024 is a vibrant picture of this hope, which has crossed the boundaries of the law and showed the face of humanity.

After 20 years, just said - 'You are alive'

A mother, who had been searching for her son in every shadow for two decades. The face was now blurred, the name was also lost. But when the son, who now studied in college, came out, there was no tear from the mother's eyes, the silence of years was broken. His first sentence was: "You are alive." These were not just words, these were the breaths that were on the ventilator of hope.

No number, sensation is counted here

In the month of March, this one campaign:

• Mixed 91 children and 117 adults with loved ones.
• 360 beggars rescued children and 640 child laborers.
• 606 minors and 2781 adults get renovated But these figures are not just counting.

There is a story behind each number - someone was left at the railway station, some had forgotten the fair, some were sold under compulsion, and some were busy separated by mistake of luck.

When identity is lost, and relationships become documents

Haryana Police's Anti-Human Trafficking Unit personnel did not even technology-identifying human emotions. In many cases people had lost their identity - someone was mentally unwell, some had forgotten the language. But older case files, photo albums, and memories written with mother's tears again added relationships.

Gurugram became an example, uniform became faith

In Gurugram district itself, 129 children and 125 adults were introduced to their loved ones. Every meeting face was saying - "Thank you, you returned the family, not just the law."

When a case is resolved, a mother's sleep returns

A sentence of Director General of Police Shatrujit Kapoor is the essence of this entire operation "When a case is resolved, not just a file is closed, but a mother's sleep returns, a father's heart is light, and a child lives his lost childhood again.

Return smile is the greatest justice

'Operation Muskan' reminds us that the police is not just a stick, sometimes there is relief like touch of mother. This operation proves that when sensitivity is added to the system, no files, life opens.
