Srinagar: Several people declared missing in Jammu and Kashmir have been traced by security agencies either to their homes within the State or to Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK).

Parents of one such person, Javed Ahmad Bhat, have found out to their extreme happiness that their disappeared son is getting married in PoK, according to highly placed sources.

The happy parents of a sleepy village in Kulgam tehsil of South Kashmir's Anantnag district could not have asked for more when they opened a letter from Muzaffarabad from their "lost" son.

Informing his family about his welfare, Bhat who is now working as a salesman in a provision store in Muzaffarabad, invited them to come and bless him on the auspicious occasion of his marriage, the sources said.

Information received by some of the parents of the disappeared persons revealed that their "dear ones", who had exfiltrated for arms training had been traced out in PoK through different contacts, they said.

For example, Zulfikar Hussain Kathu of Tangmarg in North Kashmir's Baramulla district has been found settled in Bagh district of PoK after crossing over the line-of-control in 1995.

Police had investigated all the 121 cases of persons claimed by a human rights organisation to have been missing recently and found at least 39 of them in their respective homes, an official spokesperson said.
