In the joyous atmosphere of Durga Puja in Sonamura, Tripura, locals not only fed a 12-year-old madrasa student who had reached the Durga Puja pavilion after losing his way to his school, but also made arrangements for his safe return to his parents.
Their humanitarian initiative has won the hearts of the locals.
Osman Mia,12, son of Maharam Al of Radhanagar in Agartala, studies at Rangamati Madrasa in Sonamura. On the day of Ashtami, he took the wrong turn on his way from home to the madrasa. Unable to find his way, the teenager took shelter at a Durga Puja pavilion in the Gorurband area of Sonamura.

A group of locals spotted the teenager, who looked scared and under stress at the mandap. Realising his anxiety, they first arranged food for him. They gently inquired about him and made him comfortable. He was offered prasad and food at the puja mandap.
After noting down his address, the locals contacted police to get him help.
Ultimately, with the help of the police, Osman was reunited with his parents.
