Eeman was merely 10 when he crossed the Bangladesh border to come to India, chasing his dream of experiencing snow in Kashmir. Eeman landed at the Calcutta railway station in 2011 from where he boarded a train to Delhi, reports MumbaiMirrior.

But instead of taking a train for Jammu he got on a wrong train and came to Mumbai. He was spotted aimlessly roaming the station by the railway police and was handed over to the child shelter home under the guidelines of the Child Welfare Committee (CWC).Now 14, Eeman will be among three teenage kids who will be sent back to their parents in Bangladesh. For three years, the children have been at the CWC’s child care centre in Matunga. Now that the Bangladesh High Commissioner has given a green signal for their return, the children will soon be sent back to their parents.Over the past three years, Eeman has learnt English and is also picking up Marathi at David Sassoon English School in Matunga. The officials from child care shelter got in touch with a local NGO in Bangladesh and began the process of tracing Eeman’s parents.

It has been three years since his parents have been traced. It was only now that he was given a go-ahead by the Bangladesh High Commission after the case was taken up by Aashiyana, an NGO that he will be now sent back to his parents.

Rasal who was a Class VII student in Phuldi Rotary School in Bangladesh decided one fine day to take off with his friends as he was reluctant to attend school. But after reaching Mumbai where he wanted to see the city and meet his favourite film stars, he got separated from his friends. He was found roaming at a railway station and subsequently sent to the child care centre where he has been living since then.

Last kid to be reunited to his family is 14-year-old Khoton; his parents’ desire to see him has been falling on deaf years. Sanchi, the founder of Ashiyan, said, “Parents of some of these kids come to Mumbai looking for them on valid passports. However, these kids cannot be handed over as it becomes an international issue and they need to be repatriated back.”

Deputy Chief Officer of Children Aid Society (Mahim) Satish Bhansode said, “It with sheer hard work that we were able to complete the long procedure and will be uniting these children with their family.”
