Three children who recently went missing from Karachi have yet not been recovered.

Police are yet to find the whereabouts of Aalian and Ali Raza, who disappeared under mysterious circumstances from the Garden West area on Tuesday, and seven-year-old Sarim, who was kidnapped from Bilal Colony on January 7.

The mothers of the two missing children, Aalian and Ali Raza, who went missing from the Garden area, reached the Governor's House. Sindh Governor Kamran Khan Tessori met the worried mothers and announced the establishment of a special cell at the Governor's House to assist the affected families.

The governor also contacted the Sindh inspector general of police and the chief of the Citizens-Police Liaison Committee (CPLC), urging them to ensure the recovery of the children. He called for using cameras, intelligence resources and all available tools to locate the children.

Tessori reassured the mothers that their children would be recovered soon. Meanwhile, Sindh Home Minister Ziaul Hassan Lanjar called City SSP Arif Aziz and instructed that all necessary measures be taken for the swift recovery of the children.

He emphasised that the children's photos should be shared across all districts at the provincial level. He also ordered strict monitoring at the railway stations, bus terminals and entry points of the province. Lanjar told the SSP to provide him daily updates related to the children's recovery.
