The Andaman & Nicobar Islands, with their diverse landscapes and remote locations, can pose unique challenges in locating missing persons, particularly tourists. Recognizing this, the Andaman & Nicobar Police have established robust procedures to effectively locate missing individuals.
Upon receiving a missing person report, the police initiate immediate search and rescue operations, utilizing a multi-pronged approach. This includes deploying ground and marine search teams, utilizing aerial support (where feasible), and leveraging the expertise of local communities, including fishermen and tribal populations. The police also maintain close coordination with other agencies such as the Coast Guard, forest department, and disaster management authorities.
Furthermore, the police actively engage with the public, disseminating information through local media and social media channels, seeking assistance from the community in locating the missing person. By leveraging technology and community support, the Andaman & Nicobar Police strive to ensure a swift and effective response to missing person cases, bringing comfort and closure to families and loved ones.
