Giving statistics of the past nine years, the government informed the house that 39,549 out of a total 46,860 missing persons were traced out and restored to their families by police, but some 7,000 people, including several girls, were still missing.

Accusing government of doing nothing for stopping thousands of poverty-hit families minor girls being smuggled to metros and even outside the country, the Congress walked out of the house.

Not satisfied with this, the Congress legislators staged a walkout.
