LARGE NUMBERS OF WOMEN AND GIRLS MISSING FROM INDIA

According to a news report appeared in Malayala Manorama dated 31 July 2023, 13.13 lakhs women and children are missing from India during the years 2019,2020 and 2021.

 Out of these 22,799 are from the most literate state of the country, Kerala. And the people's government is now ruling the state. The most pathetic state is that neither the central government nor the state governments give due significance for this issue. We have many agencies to find the missing people like the police, CBI, IB, etc. I don't know whether the government may say that all these agencies are not meant for this silly issue. The poeple and the government should know that there are 67 countries in the world with a population  less than 13 lakhs, the number of the missing people. In other words, the missing numbers are more than the population of these much countries, it should have been received great attention from all over the world. Maybe because of our large population we are practically ignoring this. 

Surprisingly, there are over 80  registered women's organisations in India. Unfortunately, none of these organisations have put adequate efforts to trace missing women and girls from our country. They could insert no pressure to the respective governments too. Our media also could not highlight the issue with the due importance. Has our women become so insignificant that we can afford to lose them in any numbers?

If this would have happened in other countries, many such governments would have collapsed subsequently.

I would like to call the attention of the government, the parliament, the judiciary, the media, and all the social organisations of the country to exert pressure on this matter and try to find out up to the last person.
