A 27-year-old man from Assam, who was found abandoned and wounded, was rescued by volunteers of Kaaval Karangal, an initiative of the Greater Chennai Police to rescue abandoned and uncared for people on the road. The mentally challenged man was treated and sheltered at a special home in Manali. He was reunited with his family in the presence of Commissioner of Police Shankar Jiwal on Thursday. In March, the city police launched Kaaval Karangal with the assistance of officers of the Greater Chennai Corporation, the Social Welfare Department and non-governmental organisations to rescue abandoned or homeless persons through helplines. Under this initiative, the Greater Chennai Police helplines were synchronised with NGOs and other government services.More Related News
