Karnataka gets Mysuru woman back from Shimla hospital
Shimla, Aug 1 : It was an emotional moment for the family of a 40-year-old Mysuru woman, who was under treatment at a rehab hospital in Shimla, when she was reunited with her family on Wednesday.
Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur and his wife Sadhna expressed happiness on the family reunion. They were present when the woman rejoined her family.
The woman was staying in a mental hospital and rehabilitation centre for two years. It was at a function the Chief Minister came to know about the woman. Efforts were made to contact her family members through government of Karnataka, an official statement said.
After the family reunion, the Chief Minister said the language and health of the woman were the biggest hindrance in tracing her family. But the media played a major role in this family reunion.
It was reported that 40-year-old Saraswathi from Makanahalli village in Mysuru district went missing about two years ago when she came to Bengaluru to work in a garment factory.
She had reportedly reached Himachal Pradesh's Kangra and was later admitted to the Himachal Hospital of Mental Health and Rehabilitation in Shimla for treatment in June 2016.
"She could not contact her family as she faced language problem in Himachal and was unable to recall how she reached there," the Karnataka government said in a statement on July 23.
Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy had directed the Mysuru Deputy Commissioner to provide necessary treatment and shelter on her return to the state.

Allahabad High Court directs Centre to decide on Rahul Gandhi's citizenship by December 19
Prayagraj: The Allahabad High Court has instructed the Union Home Ministry to decide on a petition regarding Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's Indian citizenship. The Bench, led by Justice Attau Rahman Masoodi and Justice Subhash Vidyarthi, set a deadline of December 19, 2024, for the government to update the Court on the matter.
The petition, filed by S Vignesh Shishir, requests a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into allegations that Rahul Gandhi holds British citizenship. Shishir claims that evidence, including confidential emails shared by VSS Sarma, suggests Gandhi may be a British citizen. However, due to UK data protection laws, the British government has not disclosed full details without Gandhi's consent.
During the November 25 hearing, Deputy Solicitor General SB Pandey informed the Court that the Home Ministry is reviewing the representation. The Court directed the government to report on the status of the petition by the next hearing on December 19.
A similar petition challenging Rahul Gandhi's citizenship is pending before the Delhi High Court, where the matter will be heard after the Allahabad High Court's proceedings.
