It was reported that more than 8 girls have gone missing every day, and one out of them remains untraced as per the data indications received in 2022.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The news report also mentioned that 474 missing and untraced girls were reported from previous years, contributing to a total of 3,592 reported missing girls in the state; of them, 3,221 girls were recovered or traced, however, 371 girls still remained untraced.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Highlighting the afore-stated statistics, the petitioner contended that the State machinery had failed to address the issue and has turned blind eye to the situation.
