Lost tribal girl reunited with parents in AP

Rajahmundry: Child rights officials on Saturday launched an investigation into reports that a four-year-old tribal girl had spent two days deep in the jungles after she lost her way at VR Puram in East Godavari district on June 1.
She was reunited to her parents on June 3. As per preliminary probe, the girl, Kunja Manju, wandered in the forests for some time but was soon found by tribals of a nearby habitation, who took her to their village where she was given food and shelter. She was later brought her home. A team of officials will visit the forest area on Sunday to further verify the facts.
Officials intervened after the Agency area was agog with news that the girl had spent two days in forests without food. The incident happened in the forest abutting the Papikonda hills, which has several carnivorous animals, including leopards.
