Siliguri, 19th July: In a heartwarming act of compassion, the Salbari Traffic Guard reunited a lost 72-year-old man with his family.
According to reports, a woman brought the elderly man, later identified as Bir Prasad Sharma, to the Salbari Traffic Guard office after noticing him roaming aimlessly on a road. The ailing man was unable to clearly provide his identity or address.
