Sir,

It has become a regular feature in SOM to find news regarding missing persons. What is surprising is the persons who go missing are from all age groups — from children, youths,  housewives to aged persons. It is a very serious issue, I suppose.

How can people of all age groups go missing? One or two cases may be genuine. Is there a mafia?

There is no point in simply publishing the news regarding missing persons. You must publish when they are traced also.

This matter should be dealt seriously and should be taken up with appropriate authorities to curb this and to nab the bad elements. In this regard, I request you to publish an article with statistics and make the appropriate Police force to jump into action and apprehend the persons responsible.
