Time and again, Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu has proved that he is a pro at putting social media to good use. This time, he reunited a mother and her 4-year-old daughter, Avani, who was lost at Nagpur Railway station.

Last week, a four-year-old girl Avani Jain got lost at the Nagpur Railway station. The girl was travelling with her mother and relatives from Nagpur to Bhopal. Avani was left behind at the station as her mother and her uncle walked ahead of her. Fortunately, Avani was later spotted by a railway police official.

Then, Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu came to her rescue, who shared a picture of the child with a Railway Police official on his Facebook page. Immediately after, several people started sharing the image of Avani on Facebook and Whatsapp. Luckily, the post reached a Whatsapp group named ‘Aamche Nagpur’ and Avani’s relatives who are a part of it immediately came to know about her.

And within just 20 minutes of the picture going viral, the Railway police were able to find the girl’s mother Sunaina Jain, thanks to Avani’s uncle spotting her and replying on the Minister’s Facebook post.

“Social media has been a powerful factor and the photo was tagged with the railway ministry, which also saw the Railway Minister, Suresh Prabhu, respond to us by stating that he was glad that Avani was found,” Indian Express quoted Avani’s uncle Shanky Jain as saying.

Suresh Prabhu also tweeted that he was ‘joyous’ that Avani was reunited with her family.
