گلگت بلتستان کے بہن بھائیوں سے خصوصی گزارش

یہ معصوم بچی سال "2007 یا 2008" میں "مئی/جون" کے مہینے میں "داتا دربار لاہور"سے لاوارث حالت میں ملی تھی۔ جس خاتون کو یہ بچی ملی، وہ اسے اپنے گھر ساتھ لے گئیں۔

"یہ تصویر سال 2010 کی ہے، جب یہ بچی ملی تھی اور اس وقت اس کی عمر تقریباً 4 سے 5 سال تھی۔" اندازہ ہے کہ یہ بچی اپنے والدین کے ساتھ داتا دربار آئی ہوگی اور وہیں کہیں گم ہوگئی۔ اس وقت بچی نے جو کپڑے پہن رکھے تھے، وہ تصویر میں ساتھ منسلک ہیں۔

یہ بچی "شینا زبان" میں بات کرتی تھی جو کسی کو سمجھ نہیں آئی۔ افسوس کہ اس وقت نہ تو بچی کو پولیس کے حوالے کیا گیا اور نہ ہی کسی یتیم خانے میں منتقل کیا گیا۔

اب "گلگت بلتستان کے عوام سے اپیل" ہے کہ اس پوسٹ کو زیادہ سے زیادہ شیئر کریں۔
اگر آپ کسی ایسی فیملی کو جانتے ہیں جن کی بچی "2007 یا 2008 میں داتا دربار لاہور سے لاپتہ" ہوئی ہو تو براہِ کرم فوری طور پر "میرا پیارا ٹیم" سے رابطہ کریں۔

What she is saying is " hai thay" in Turkish language which means " be quick or hurry" and same words are being used in Shina Language for " be quick or hurry"
شینا زبان میں تیز بھاگو یہ جلدی کرو کو "ہائی تھے " کہتے ہیں اور آج معلوم ہوا کے ترکش زبان میں بھی یہی لفظ استعمال ہوتا ہے۔۔
