Sector 7 senior citizen goes missing on Wed, found on Friday, thanks to social media
Here is a bittersweet story about a Sector 7 senior citizen who went missing on Wednesday and was found in Jayanagar on Friday by folks who had seen his photograph flashed across social media.
S Narasimhan, an 80 year old suffering from dementia (short term memory loss) stepped out for a walk and forgot his address along the way. His photograph with his details were uploaded by his family members across social media. His son Sathyanarayana N is much relieved now.
“That’s the power of social media,” Sathyanarayana told Residents Watch. “He was found in Siddapura, Jayanagar, at around 11am on Jayanagar. Somebody spotted him and gave us the information with his location. We rushed to the place and got him back. He was out of home for two days, and we are yet to recover from this incident.”
The ‘missing person’ message is still going round social media, so we would suggest the folks to stop forwarding the message as he has returned and also clarify on the channels where they see them, by perhaps sharing their story over there.
