So glad the child is safe! But we need more awareness among parents, especially in crowded places like gurudwaras and markets. Still, the police response was prompt. Well done.
It's reassuring to see police efficiency in action. 30 minutes is impressive, especially given Delhi's traffic and crowds. Kudos to SI Arjun Meena and CT Dheeraj for their quick thinking.
A true success story of community policing and technology! 🙏 The family must be so relieved. But let's not forget that we should always keep an eye on our little ones. Safety first.
I'm happy for the family, but it raises questions about how many such cases get resolved so quickly. The system works well when it works. Need consistent effort across all police stations. Respect for the prompt action though.
Brilliant response time! This is the kind of policing we need across India. Using CCTV and local knowledge effectively is commendable. Stay safe, Delhi! 🚔
Very heartening to see this! The mother must have been panicking. She would thank the police forever. Hope the family reunites with peace and precautions going forward. Well done Parliament Street team!
