Lana’s father decided to go to the village nearly a month ago, apparently to be among their close relatives as his wife was about to give birth to their new baby.
Aram Khasraw, another relative of the missing girl urged the relevant departments to help find Lana, admitting that Lana’s health condition has complicated the task of finding her.
In the meantime, villagers have been searching for Lana in Alyaway Bajalan and its surrounding area over the past few days.
