A mentally-ill youth from Bihar, who was rescued in August last, has been rehabilitated and reunited with his family, thanks to the efforts of Collector V. Vishnu.
When some people noticed a youth who swooned on the roadside in Tirunelveli Town during the lockdown, they informed Mr. Vishnu, who alerted Emergency Care and Rescue Centre (ECRC) authorities. Brought to the ECRC at Kandigaiperi, the mentally-ill youth was given rehabilitation measures and counselling that gradual improved his physical and mental health.
As he performed ‘namaz’ one day and started crying in search of his parents, the counsellors tried to get more information from him, but in vain. Even though the video of the youth was shared on social media, no clue about his family was received.
