“We submitted several memorandums, urging the police to trace the kids. But even after five months, they have not been able to find the whereabouts of the duo” Das added.
“In the past, we have seen that a missing child of an associate professor of Assam University was traced within five days with Assam ADGP Assam Mukesh Agarwal leading the operation,” Das added.
“Such an effort, however, has not been shown for the two kids of Sundhan Das, who is a daily wager,” rued Das.
Speaking to Northeast Now, Sundhan Das said, “Our leaders visit the bereaved families, but I have not been that lucky.”
“I have approached Silchar MP Rajdeep Roy on my own. Apart from giving me assurances, he has done nothing much to trace my kids,” Das added.
“We are not going to leave this place until being helped by the district administration in finding my missing kids,” Das reiterated.
